Xillith Isherwood recently finished reassembling the scattered shards of
the Sztandar Szkarłatnego Kultu (the First Patriarch's original staff)
into his halberd, the "Broń Szkarłatnego Patriarchy" - explaining why
Bezimienny's soul, previously fragmented across the shards, is now mostly
reunified. Threaded through the Sztandar item, Bezimienny, and Xillith
Isherwood pages.
Also folds in a prior file move: items/*.md split into items/artifacts/,
items/armor/, items/weapons/, items/gear/ subfolders, with Przedmioty.md
and the two referencing rulebook hubs updated to match, plus a .gitignore
entry for _books/.

The rulebooks (Podręcznik Gry, Księga Magii, and 7 others) were single
monolithic documents, some over 1000 lines, making it hard to find or link
to one specific rule. Restructured them to match the convention already
used for lore/npcs/spells/disciplines: a themed subfolder per book with one
file per topic (talent, race, status effect, action type, etc.), and the
original book file rewritten into a hub/table-of-contents linking to them.
- Where a rulebook chapter duplicated content that already has a canonical
home elsewhere (spell lists vs spells/, artifacts vs items/, disciplines
vs disciplines/), replaced the duplicated text with links instead of
copying it a second time.
- Verified all ~360 internal links across the new structure resolve, and
fixed two real bugs surfaced by that check: unescaped parentheses in
filenames breaking Markdown link syntax, and an off-by-one relative path
in Rozdział VII - Religia.

Follow-up to the Damage Reduction Order formalization:
- Rozdział V's actual combat-resolution paragraph (00. Podręcznik Gry.md)
never got updated to match the new sequential Runic Armour -> Magic
Shielding -> Armour -> HP order and terminology; it still described
the two magic layers as one lumped subtraction.
- Renamed the last "Runiczna Tarcza" holdouts to "Runiczny Pancerz":
the Amulet Osłony artifact and the Sztandar/Patriarcha Crimson Cult
weapon writeup (duplicated across two files), which already had its
own pre-existing 2:1 shield-breaking mechanic predating this
session's spell conversions.
- Crimson Bolt now ignores Runic Armour and Magic Shielding but no
longer ignores mundane Pancerz (ignoresArmor: true -> false) - a
deliberate example that an effect can skip some defensive layers in
the new order without skipping all of them.

Playtesting the new coating rule found that "half a dose, rounded
down, minimum 1" was a no-op for the common single-dose-per-hit case
(0.5 floors to 0, then the minimum-1 clause bumps it straight back to
a full dose) - a focused arrow volley could still stack Przedawkowanie
tiers almost as fast as before. Replaced it with an accumulating
half-dose counter, so two failed resists are needed per real dawka
instead of one, roughly doubling the hits required to reach each
overdose tier.

Add explicit action/dose cost and expiry to applying elixirs to
weapons/ammunition, plus a resistance test (hooking into the
previously-unused Odporność na Truciznę talent) that halves absorption
on a failed coated hit. Previously a coated hit counted as a full dose
toward Przedawkowanie with no cost or resistance, letting a handful of
cheap arrows trigger overdose-tier effects (up to death) far more
easily than voluntarily drinking the same elixir would.

Combat-pacing rebalance to curb single-cast overcast greed and long-fight
stalemates without further nerfing base spell damage:
- Replace the per-round mana cap with a daily mana pool (old Poziom Mocy
values x3), restored via rest tiers (Odetchniecie/Krotki/Dlugi Odpoczynek).
- Add a mundane-only "Kara za Wyczerpanie Many" table for casting past the
daily pool, and a "Kara za Nieudolnosc" table for failed overcast tests -
deliberately kept free of Otchlan/Obled corruption.
- Taper overcast effect bonuses past step 2 (halved, min 1) to blunt
free-zone alpha strikes below Maksymalny Koszt Zaklecia.
- Rebalance Zywotnosc/Oszolomiony/rest-recovery from 3x/1-3 to 2x/1-2.
- Add a "Potega Efektu" magnitude parameter to the spell-costing formula,
decoupling effect strength from casting difficulty (T/S).
- Flip the Obrazenia/Ochrona category modifiers (-0.4/+0.2, was 0.0/-0.7) so
shields cost more than comparable attacks instead of less, then swept all
spell files against the new formula.
- Expand shield-breaking beyond Ether Pierce (Mysterious Stream, Arrow of
Desire, Energy Wave, Divine Spear, Last Judgment, True Disintegration),
rework Forbidden Shield into a durability-based ward with a shield-ignoring
counter-attack, and complete True Disintegration's description, which was
truncated since the initial commit.
- Formalize the four-layer damage reduction order (Runiczny Pancerz ->
Magiczna Oslona -> Pancerz -> Zywotnosc) in the rulebook.

Converts every internal header-anchor link in the vault (ToCs and inline
cross-references) from the incorrect GitHub/GFM-slug style to the format
Obsidian's Read mode actually resolves: exact heading text, case and
diacritics/punctuation preserved literally, with only spaces encoded as
%20. Also converts the two remaining Obsidian-wikilink ToCs (organizations/
Federacja Sol-3.md, rules/00. Podręcznik Gry.md) to plain markdown links per
the styleguide, and strips the inert Pandoc-style {#id} heading tags from
lore/90. Tales of the Homebrew Magic.md.
Renames 8 heading names that appeared more than once within the same
document (Atrybuty, Żywotność, Pancerz, Inicjatywa in the rulebook; Magia
Żywiołów/Sakralna/Iluzji in Księga Magii; Faza 3: Sprzedaż in Złoto, Stal i
Magia; three Tales of the Homebrew Magic story installments) since a flat
anchor link can't disambiguate duplicate headings the way Obsidian's
wikilink nested-path syntax could.

- Fill empty hub index sections (Zakon Taumaturgow, Sily Specjalne Gaja,
Wybrancy Herosow) and add missing entries (Nemyo) in npcs.md
- Resolve broken template fields for Nil, Mundus, Tempus, Mistrz Losu,
Ten Ktory jest Mroczny, Anna Heide, and Narcyza using confirmed canon
- Update Kult Otchlani org page to reflect Nil's motive for culling
her own cultists
- Add "zaklecia" tag to all 104 spell files
- Translate ~90 Polish frontmatter tags to English vault-wide for
consistency with the spells/ taxonomy (e.g. otchlan->abyss,
magia-krwi->blood-magic, szkarlatny-kult->crimson-cult), keeping
proper nouns (character/place names) and clean up legacy "#tag"
hashtag-style artifacts left over from old Obsidian inline tags

* refactor(vault): convert wikilinks to standard Markdown links
Switches the vault's internal linking convention from Obsidian
wikilinks ([[Target]]) to standard Markdown links ([Text](path)),
so the vault renders correctly in Obsidian, plain Markdown readers,
and AI tools that don't understand wikilink syntax.
- Flipped Obsidian's core "Use [[Wikilinks]]" setting off
(.obsidian/app.json: useMarkdownLinks + newLinkFormat: relative)
so new links created in-app follow the same convention.
- Converted ~1690 wikilink/embed occurrences across 143 files via a
vault-aware script: relative path resolution per source file,
GitHub-compatible heading-anchor slugs (with correct duplicate
suffixing) for same-file and cross-file heading links, alias-aware
and case-insensitive target resolution, and disambiguation for the
handful of basenames that exist in more than one place (e.g. Nil,
Federacja Sol-3) in favor of their canonical page.
- Image embeds with a size modifier become <img width> tags; sized-less
images become standard ![]() embeds; non-image embeds (video) become
plain links, since transclusion has no Markdown equivalent.
- Updated the styleguide to document the new link convention.
- Fixed one pre-existing typo (swapped target/alias on a Tempus link).
Verified: 1648/1656 non-asset links resolve to real files after
conversion; the remaining 8 are either a documentation example or
already-known pre-existing red links (missing conflicts.md index,
a couple of not-yet-written character/org stubs) predating this change.
* fix(vault): add missing conflicts.md index, restore two dangling TOC entries
- Add conflicts.md as a top-level index (mirroring npcs.md/organizations.md/etc),
the only top-level folder that lacked one.
- lore/05: restore the missing "Przywództwo i legendy" heading its TOC
already pointed at (content existed, just wasn't header-ized).
- organizations/Federacja Sol-3.md: fix two TOC entries whose text had
drifted from the real heading ("Wojsko Federacji" -> "Wojsko i Waluty
Federacji", "a Podbój Kosmosu" -> "w Podbój Kosmosu" typo), and restore
the missing "Ziemia (Sol-3-1725) jako Kluczowy Członek" heading.
- Ziemia (Sol-3-1725).md: drop an orphaned TOC sub-entry pointing at a
bolded callout label ("Centrum Wsparcia Planetarnego") that was never
a real heading, rather than inventing one that would break the callout.
* feat(vault): restructure Elf race page, add Brogir Vane and Siły Specjalne X
- races/Elf.md: consolidate the scattered Wysokie/Leśne differentiators
(previously one sentence per theme in each general section) into two
dedicated ## Elfy Wysokie / ## Elfy Leśne sections, so the existing
cross-file links to these subraces resolve to something real instead
of just falling back to the whole page.
- Add npcs/Bank Krasnoludzki/Brogir Vane.md - Dyrektor Generalny of the
Dwarven Bank on Earth, distinct from Thingrim Magnarson's "Twarz Banku"
public-facing role. Fixed the two links in races/Krasnolud.md that
pointed at the wrong (races/) folder.
- Add organizations/Federacja Sol-3/Siły Specjalne X.md, built from the
existing canonical book content in lore/10 (previously only ever
quoted inline on Nicodemus Florens's and Karolina Fey's pages, never
given its own page). Fixed the pre-existing red links across
npcs.md/Nicodemus Florens.md/Karolina Fey.md to point at it, and
added it to organizations.md.
Verified: 0 broken internal links vault-wide (excluding the two files
already out of scope: the styleguide's illustrative link example, and
the pre-existing lore/90 session-log import with its own Pandoc-style
anchor convention).
* feat(organizations): add X-COM-flavored mission doctrine to Siły Specjalne X
* fix(organizations): specify Siły Specjalne X squad composition (10-12, 3-4 human)

This was the oldest and roughest sync of all 8 books (dated
2026-01-20, before the process gained frontmatter/structure) - the
entire 1400+ line file had exactly one heading (the title) and every
single chapter/section marker had degraded to plain text, same failure
pattern seen (in smaller doses) throughout this reconciliation pass.
- Restored 167 headings programmatically via the same doc-order text
matching used for Przewodnik Ludzkości, plus a couple of manual fixes
the automated pass couldn't place (an off-by-one on "Wstęp", and
"Rozdział VII - Religia" which turned out to have zero presence in
the vault file at all, not even a stub).
- Added proper frontmatter (tags/book/author/last-updated-at/aliases),
matching every other rules/*.md file in the vault - this file never
had any.
- Replaced the stale hand-written page-numbered TOC (a leftover from
the print layout, page numbers meaningless in Obsidian) with the
auto-generating `table-of-contents` block used elsewhere, and
stripped the ~60-line run of empty paragraphs left over from the
Google Doc's title page.
- Added the missing Rozdział VII stub, linking to concepts/Bogowie/
Panteon.md and concepts/Siedem Grzechów/Siedem Grzechów.md - both
already exist with full per-god/per-sin writeups (richer than the
book itself, which leaves several gods as bare headings), just had
no back-reference from the core rulebook.
Content-diffed Rozdział II (Tworzenie Postaci) and Rozdział V (Walka i
Magia) in full against the doc - the two chapters most likely to hide a
real rules bug (character creation, combat) - both came back clean,
only cosmetic Google Docs typography artifacts (comma spacing, stripped
live doc hyperlinks replaced with plain text/wikilinks).
Księga Magii also grew since the last sync (2970-line doc now). Checked
structural coverage against the vault: Rozdział I (disciplines) and
Rozdział IV (artifacts) are correctly split into disciplines/*.md and
already match the doc. Rozdział VII (spell-creation formulas/tables)
verified byte-for-byte accurate.
Found one real structural gap: Rozdział VIII "Dzika Magia Dzikich Wiedźm"
had zero presence in rules/01 - not even a summary+link - even though the
actual content already exists, complete and accurate, in
disciplines/Dzika Wiedźmia Magia.md. Added the missing chapter stub.
Spot-checked spells across schools (general/air/sacred/superspells) for
stat-block accuracy against the doc - found and fixed a real, recurring
bug: several spells have a "Wymagania" (requirements) line in the book
that never made it into the vault's structured `requirements` field:
- Ostrze Dawida: requires Race (Anioł) - was empty
- Fanatyczne Poświęcenie: requires Race (Człowiek) - was empty
- All 8 superspells require Mistrzostwo (mastery) of a discipline - none
of them encode this anywhere. Added the requirement text into each
spell's body since the schema has no dedicated "mastery" field and
guessing at unknown discipline enum keys seemed worse than not
guessing. Left as follow-up if the app schema should grow a field for
this.
- Zagłada (Doom) specifically requires a 4-mage ritual (main caster + 3
others who already know the spell, none can be Źródło Mocy) - this one
*does* have dedicated frontmatter fields (requiresGroupCast, minCasters)
that were sitting at false/1. Fixed to true/4.
Did not attempt a full line-by-line read of all ~104 spells or the
~900 lines of Rozdział I-VI narrative/spell prose given the book's size;
spot-checked a representative sample per chapter/school instead. A
systematic requirements-field audit across all spell files is a
reasonable follow-up given what turned up here.
rules/06. Bestiariusz.md was a 0-byte file - never synced. Turns out
the live doc itself is mostly an unfinished skeleton: "Rozdział I -
Przeciwnicy" (monster stat blocks) is a bare heading with no content at
all, and most of "Rozdział II - Inne Postacie" is just a list of NPC
names with no stats or descriptions under them, in the doc itself. Only
"Rozdział III - Talenty" (4 unique boss/NPC talents) has real written
content.
Built the vault file to faithfully match that structure: full text for
the 4 talents, and the NPC roster linked out to their existing npcs/
profile pages where one exists (12 of 18 names). Two names (Klara,
Wikaene) have no npc/ file yet - left as plain text rather than inventing
one, since they're only attested in session-log mentions
(lore/90. Tales..., session notes), not in the book. Narcyza Zurbach's
existing npc file is itself an empty placeholder stub.
Did not fabricate any monster stat blocks or NPC combat stats - neither
the book nor the vault has them anywhere, and inventing them isn't a
reconciliation task.
This book grew substantially in the live doc since the last vault sync
(2165 lines now vs the ~650-line vault rules file), restructured from
4 chapters into 9 chapters + 2 annexes. Checked lore/03. Ekonomia
Magicznego Świata.md's heading structure against the doc's chapters
I-VIII: it's already been fully expanded to match, 1:1, including every
subsection - no gaps found there. Did a structural check, not a full
line-by-line read, given its size (~1100 lines of narrative prose);
flagging that a deeper pass is available if wanted.
Deep-diffed the mechanics-only portions that live in rules/03 (the book
was already correctly split: crunch in rules/, worldbuilding in lore/):
- Real rule bugs: "Widzenie w Ciemności" and "Hartowany w Ogniu" talents
were restricted to Krasnolud only in the vault; the book grants them to
Krasnolud/Feles/Elf and Krasnolud/Lamia respectively.
- Real rule bug: the simplified trade minigame's failure clause was
flattened to a flat 10% loss; the book scales it ("10% za każdy
brakujący Sukces") and ties the GM's complication roll to the shortfall.
- Naming drift: "Tworzenie Artefaktów" -> "Rzemiosło Artefaktów" (matches
the actual discipline file name used everywhere else in the vault).
- Two "Rodział" -> "Rozdział" typos, and a malformed wikilink with a
duplicate closing `]]`.
Currency exchange table (Rozdział II) and the base-price table (Aneks B)
verified byte-for-byte against the doc - no drift.
Fetched the "Klątwa Otchłani" doc and checked it against rules/02
(mechanics), lore/02 (Otchłań worldbuilding), and the eldritch spell
files it links out to.
- Missing rules content: "Przywołanie Istoty z Otchłani" gave no way to
actually determine required successes ("depends on the creature", full
stop) - the book's per-creature table (Tajemny Krab 2, Strażnik
Otchłani 4, Czempion Otchłani 6, Simulacrum 10 successes, plus their
Otchłań-bond level requirements) was dropped entirely. Restored it.
- Wrong cross-reference: rules/02's Wstęp pointed to
[[03. Ekonomia Magicznego Świata]] (a different book's lore file
entirely) instead of [[02. Otchłań i Magia]].
- Two more headings that degraded to plain text during a prior sync
("Bariera Ziemi", "Przebudzenie" in lore/02) - same failure pattern as
Arcanum Sanguinis, now fixed.
- Chapter renumbering inconsistency: rules/02 renumbers every chapter
locally (I-V) except the last one, which stayed "Rozdział X" from the
book's original numbering. Renumbered to VI for consistency with its
siblings.
Verified: Nil/Mundus/Tempus/Mistrz Losu personifications (already split
to npcs/Kult Otchłani/*.md) and all 5 eldritch spell stat blocks match
the doc. Rozdział III (Kara za nieudolność) and VIII (Choroby
Psychiczne) are empty in the book itself, not a sync gap.
Fetched the "Chwała Szkarłatnemu Kultowi" doc (constants.ts display name;
internally still titled that, vault calls the book "Vivat Patriarcha
coccineus!" - flagging for confirmation, not renaming).
- Fixed a broken TOC anchor: linked to "Superzaklęcie - Requiem" but the
actual heading is just "Requiem" - dead internal link in Obsidian.
- Restored "może wskrzesić" (can resurrect) for the Wielki
Taumaturg/Pierwszy Patriarcha ritual outcome; vault had drifted to
"może stworzyć nowe ciało dla" (can create a new body for), which
contradicts both the book and the vault's own lore/05 file (which
independently says the cult wants to "wskrzesić" him).
Rozdział I-III (rumors/structure/locations lore) live in lore/05.
Szkarłatny Kult.md, which has been substantially expanded past the book
with campaign-specific canon (Nicodemus Florens, Xillith, Domena
Szkarłatu time dilation) - left untouched per policy: book is
source-of-truth only where it asserts something the vault contradicts,
not vault-original elaboration. Spell stat blocks in spells/crimson/*
and spells/general/superspells/requiem.md verified byte-for-byte
accurate against the doc - no changes needed.
Fetched the live "Krwawa Mgła"/Arcanum Sanguinis Google Doc (constants.ts
entry has a stale display name; the doc itself was renamed) and diffed it
against rules/04. Found:
- Wielka Ofiara frequency cap was wrong: vault said "raz na rundę" (once
per round), book says "raz dziennie" (once per day). Real balance bug,
not cosmetic - this is a potential instant-kill action.
- "Wchłanianie Krwi" had lost its heading during a prior sync (plain text,
missing from TOC) - restored as a proper H3 + linked in the outline.
- Minor wording drift restored to match the book ("czy mechanik" clause,
"coraz" typo).
Confirmed disciplines/Magia Krwi.md (the existing lore-split destination
for this book's Rozdział I-II / Robert Zaryn material) already matches
the doc verbatim - no changes needed there.
