Inicjatywa was double-counting Umysł and pulling in Ciało via skill
totals; correct formula is Umysł + Refleks bonus + Spostrzegawczość
bonus (confirmed against the player character sheet's actual
spreadsheet formula). Recalculated every NPC form on the corrected
formula, then bumped Refleks/Spostrzegawczość bonuses for trained/elite
NPCs so their Initiative reads above starting-player range, matching
their in-fiction competence. Nil now rolls 4k6 instead of 2k6.
Also: Gotowość do Walki for Xillith (III/IV), Karolina (II, inherited
into III), and Pelagius (x2); Dyplomata and Gadanina for Zayis (bumped
her Empatia to +3 to actually meet Dyplomata's prerequisite); Przeskok
added to Xillith's (unreliable, per table history) and Karolina's
(reflavored as twin short-lived gateways) spell lists.

Add escalating aggression to Karolina Fey's Taktyka across all three forms,
add Narcyza's demon-normalcy/flight/claws/superiority-complex details, and
retcon Malferians from shapeshifters to demon-descended (fixing the Zayis
"obvious non-demon in demon robes" contradiction and grounding her magic's
demonic lineage literally).

- Rename "Wiecej, Niz Pomiesci Smiertelne Cialo" to "Nie do Zabicia" (Nigh Unkillable)
- Add Odprysk Otchlani talent giving Nil's Slime Cube form a ranged gap-closer
- Reformat every Umiejetnosci line across all NPC statblocks to "modifier (total)"
so skills that scale off raw skill bonus (e.g. Mistrz Magii) are readable
- Rebalance Magia attributes to respect the 1k10 character-creation table
(valid values only 0/1/2/3/4/6), offsetting the difference via skill modifiers
capped at +8; recompute Inicjatywa to match updated Refleks/Spostrzegawczosc
- Lower Zayis's Autorytet (Glos Rozkazu) from III to II
- Add Jednosc z Magia to Diana as an in-fiction exception granted in 2027
- Add Metamagia to Karolina's Baba Jaga form
- Give Narcyza (Forma II) and Diana (Forma III) natural flight

Adds Bestiariusz combat stat blocks for the setting's major NPCs (Pelagius
Caudex, Diana Koniecpolska, Karolina Fey, Narcyza Eleness Zurbach, Xillith
Isherwood, Princess Zayis), each with supporting Talenty and, where needed,
new spells/artifacts (Zayis's Thaumaturgy shield spells, Lexica Botania,
Miecz Taumiczny).
Also reconciles several NPCs against a user-authored canon power-scaling
list: Diana gets a body-horror physiology writeup, an Otchłań-overcast
immunity Talent, and a "stop, not defeat" scaling note; Karolina's Forma II
is renamed to match Wielka Księga Obrzędów canon and gains Lexica Botania +
Pełnia Mocy; Narcyza's command ability becomes an aura affecting everyone
nearby, not just her focus target. Replaces the "Eldrycki/Eldrycka" Polish
calque throughout with direct "Magia/zaklęcie Otchłani" phrasing.

Robert Zaryn's own infobox and Królestwo Zaryn's history had drifted
from the correct, more detailed timeline already present in
lore/10 (Przewodnik Ludzkości po Magicznym Świecie): Wyspowe Księstwa
Zaryn conquered by Xivell in 430 BU, Robert Zaryn's 99 BU rebellion
founds Królestwo Zaryn, Benedykt Greteron's second war in 94 BU leads
into the Fall. Added a dedicated Wyspowe Księstwa Zaryn page for the
older, multi-prince polity and fixed the dates/causal order across
Robert Zaryn's page, Królestwo Zaryn, Xivell (planeta), and locations.md.
Rewrote the "Bóg Krwi" GM secret in Magia Krwi.md as the canonical
explanation for Zaryn's partial godhood: his ritual at Obsydianowa
Wieża was a deliberate ascension attempt interrupted by the parasite
(not a Personifikacja) mid-ritual, leaving him a shattered, partial god
rather than cleanly alive or dead - and fixed an internal contradiction
where Robert Zaryn's own page implied he'd met Bezimienny directly.
Added Eryk Meliski, an adept-inquisitor on Tena Lindemann's WeSM audit
team who practiced Blood Magic with her knowledge, and who restored
Robert Zaryn's body via a ritual in WeSM's forest in September 2026,
dying in the process. Threaded through Zaryn's page, Tena Lindemann,
the Inkwizycja and Szkarłatny Kult org pages, and WeSM's own page, plus
an explicitly-flagged speculative GM hook (not settled canon) on both
Eryk's and Mundus's pages about Mundus's possible involvement.

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/,

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.

The "2:1 instead of 5:1" shield-breaker clause was written to apply uniformly
to Runic Armour and Magic Shielding, but Magic Shield already depletes 1:1
by full damage dealt (its own baseline). Applied literally, "2:1" was worse
than a normal hit against Magic Shield - the opposite of the intended effect.
Playtest-verified via a corrected combat simulation. Fixed across all 6
shield-breaker spells: the 2:1 rate now applies to Runic Armour only, and
damage against Magic Shield is doubled instead.

Closes the TBD left when shield-breaking was added to Boska Włócznia
earlier this session. Mixes a shared pack-hunt bonus (allies gain a
die on attacks per stack, up to 3) with a caster-only consumable
payoff (burn stacks on a hit for +1k3 damage each, ignoring Runic
Armour, Magic Shielding, and mundane Pancerz) - the mark's passive
effect helps the whole party corner the target, but only the hunter
who placed it can call in the finishing blow.

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.

Documents the unauthorized Malferian strike on "Integralność" (Arkthar's

Also folds Karolina Fey (Agentka Beta) and Nicodemus Florens (Agent Gamma)

Converts every internal header-anchor link in the vault (ToCs and inline

Obsidian's Read mode actually resolves: exact heading text, case and

%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

these, leaving them untouched. 12 of the 29 were already all-English

* 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)
---------
Co-authored-by: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
* chore(npcs): remove duplicate Thingrim Magnarson file
npcs/Thingrim Magnarson.md and npcs/Bank Krasnoludzki/Thingrim
Magnarson.md were near-identical duplicates. Kept the one nested under
Bank Krasnoludzki/ (matches the org-nesting pattern used for other
affiliated NPCs, and has the correct relative _assets path). All
existing [[Thingrim Magnarson]] backlinks resolve by basename, so
nothing breaks.
* chore(npcs): remove non-canon Gemini filler NPCs
Confirmed against the GM's actual canon character list: none of these
16 NPCs (the "Mistrz X / Profesor X / Mistrzyni X" WeSM faculty batch,
plus a handful of similarly-invented named figures) are real characters
- they were auto-generated placeholder stubs Gemini created to fill
voids in "known practitioners" flavor lists, never fleshed out, and
don't exist in the GM's head either.
Removed the stub files and the "Znani praktycy"/"Znani przedstawiciele"
bullet points referencing them across disciplines/*.md and races/Elf.md
- either dropping just the fake entry where a real one (e.g. Robert
Zaryn, Kult Otchłani) shared the same list, or removing the section
entirely where every entry was fabricated.
Also merged the duplicate Aurora Nylabelle stub into the existing,
already-canonical npcs/Uczniowie/Aurora.md (which already carries
"Aurora Nylabelle" as an alias) rather than treating her as filler -
she's confirmed canon, just needs real content still.
* feat(lore): add Abyss as the primordial being behind Nil/Mundus/Tempus
New canon from the GM: Abyss was simultaneously a place and a being,
existing before any universe did. Mundus split off first (her birth is
what made existence/worlds possible at all), then Tempus split off
second (his birth is what made time/change/continuity possible - why
anything can persist past the instant of its creation). What remained
after both departures is Nil - not a third sibling born alongside the
other two, but the leftover core of the original Otchłań, which is why
she's treated as the eldest and closest to the source, and why "Abyss"
still gets used as one of her names.
Also distinguishes two previously-conflated phenomena: the one-time
Pierwotny Rozpad (primordial split, pre-universe) vs. a Personification
being drawn into and manifesting within a specific universe (repeatable,
e.g. triggered by a disturbance of the Pierwotna Zasada Równowagi Magii)
- lore/02's Rozdział III previously described the latter as if it were
the act of creating Nil and Mundus from scratch each time, and didn't
mention Tempus in that framing at all.
New: npcs/Kult Otchłani/Abyss.md (full account), concepts/Otchłań/
Abyss.md (see-also stub, matching the existing pattern for Nil/Mundus/
Tempus). Updated: Nil.md, Mundus.md, Tempus.md (cross-links + their
place in the split), concepts/Otchłań/Personifikacje Otchłani.md
(promoted from draft status now that the origin story is grounded),
lore/02's Rozdział III intro.
* feat(npcs): write up Narcyza Eleness Zurbach, add Klara stub
Narcyza was an empty placeholder despite being confirmed canon by the
GM (as opposed to the Gemini filler batch removed earlier) - full
backstory from the GM: 750+ year old arch-succubus, daughter of Sheliss
Eleness Zurbach (a succubus married to a demon king killed before
Narcyza's birth). Raised alone by her mother until age 30, when Sheliss
was captured by a rival demon lord and never heard from again. Narcyza's
rescue attempt failed - one of the lord's generals cursed her while
unconscious, permanently draining her power to feed her captor. She
doesn't know it's a curse; thinks the drain is just how powerful demons
work. Enrolled at WeSM partly to find safety among people, partly
because Earth's connection to other worlds is her best lead on finding
her mother. Skilled at crafts (hand-makes clothing, including some of
Diana Koniecpolska's), currently into miniature painting.
Left the rival demon lord, his general, and Sheliss's current fate open
in a GM-only note - hooks for later rather than invented detail.
Added a minimal, honestly-incomplete stub for Klara (the angel Narcyza
grew close to at WeSM) rather than a broken link or a fabricated
backstory - she's queued for her own dedicated round. Cross-linked
Diana <-> Narcyza's relationship on both pages, and listed both in the
npcs.md index alongside an Abyss entry under Kult Otchłani.
* feat(npcs): add Kiara (Feles, Diana's loose relationship)
Kiara is a distinct character from Klara - a long violet-haired Feles,
one year above Diana Koniecpolska at WeSM, in a loose relationship with
her. Cross-linked with Diana's page, listed as Feles's first confirmed
"known representative" in the campaign, added to the npcs.md index.
Left as a stub pending fuller detail on personality/history, same as
Klara - noted honestly rather than invented.
* feat(npcs): write up Joe Cox (was a 0-byte file)
GM's pitch: Rambo by way of Johnny Bravo and Guile from Street Fighter
- tall, built, blonde, an unmistakable hairstyle, a lieutenant you can
drop solo with a gun and limited ammo and he will complete the mission,
no matter the odds. Already referenced elsewhere in the vault as 1st
Platoon commander of XCOM (Federacja Sol-3's special forces), so wrote
him consistent with that existing context and cross-linked accordingly.
* feat(npcs): write up Leopold von Karma (was Gemini filler stub)
GM's backstory: a human necromancer from another world who spent years
tracking Hept-Skhes - his rival from their shared homeworld, before
Hept-Skhes went on to defeat rival death-gods (Tanatos among them, per
lore/10) and ascend to godhood. The chase accidentally landed Leopold a
teaching position at WeSM. Now spends his free time cursing Hept-Skhes
and terrifying students and fellow teachers alike.
Relocated from npcs/Leopold von Karma.md to npcs/Nauczyciele/ to match
the existing teacher-NPC convention (Pelagius Caudex, Urszula Callistis)
- no path-qualified backlinks existed, so nothing else needed updating.
Added him to disciplines/Nekromancja.md's known-practitioners list and
cross-linked with the existing Hept-skhes concept page.
* feat(npcs): write up Klaus von Übertropp and flesh out Pelagius Caudex
Klaus von Übertropp had no dedicated file despite being referenced
(broken link) from Wschodnioeuropejska Szkoła Magii.md, which already
carried most of his story in prose: a non-mage installed as WeSM
director by Kult Otchłani, promised power by Nil in exchange for
helping bring her fully into the material world. When the plan failed,
Nil killed the other participants but gave Klaus a worse fate -
complete removal from reality itself, not just death. New GM-facing
term for this from the source conversation: "usunięcie z Otchłani"
(removal from the Abyss). Nil then picked Pelagius Caudex as the new
director on a whim, as a "fun" punishment - and thanks to the erasure,
Pelagius is publicly remembered as WeSM's first-ever director.
Also fleshed out Pelagius Caudex's own file, which had a director title
in its stat table but zero prose - added an Opis/Relacje section
covering the same appointment from his side, since it was sitting right
there unexplained.
Added a note to Nil.md about this erasure capability being (as far as
known) unique to her among the three Personifications.
* feat(npcs): add Maedinitia and Nemyo, fix dangling TOC entries
Maedinitia: a water mage, WeSM student, and Aurora Nylabelle's servant -
she's at the school mostly as part of Aurora's retinue, since Aurora
attends for political reasons as a princess of Hiondirs-4. Cross-linked
with Aurora's page (which had a stat table but no prose at all yet).
Nemyo: a Feles alchemist who's helped numerous player parties out with
potions - added to disciplines/Alchemia.md's known-practitioners list,
which is also where two other discipline pages' TOCs still pointed at a
"Znani praktycy" heading I'd removed entirely in the earlier Gemini
filler cleanup (Botanika, Golemancja) - fixed those dangling links too.
* fix(npcs): resolve Xillith name coincidence, add Nil's first erasure
Cleared up a real contradiction: the existing avatar/halberd-possession
mechanic linking Bezimienny (First Patriarch, real name Xillith) to
Xillith Isherwood is correct and stays - Isherwood is bound to the
Patriarch's soul because he's a Szkarłatny Kult member who claimed the
cursed halberd, not because of the shared name. The GM confirmed the
name match itself is pure coincidence with no in-universe cause; Nil is
aware of it and finds it funny or infuriating depending on her mood.
Also filled in why Xillith's erasure by Nil was incomplete (unlike
Klaus von Übertropp's total erasure): her manifestation at the time was
extremely weak, having possessed a child's body, limiting how much of
him she could actually remove from the Abyss - enough to strip his name
and most of his existence, not enough to erase him entirely.
Pulled the well-developed duel backstory already sitting in lore/10's
Xivell chapter (age 21, Botanika's discovery, Arcymag and Nadworny
Taumaturg titles, the duel's stakes) into Bezimienny's own page and
cross-linked it, since his page previously didn't reference that
chapter at all despite covering the same events. Added the same history
to Nil.md as her first known intervention in mortal affairs.
* feat(npcs): add Tena Lindemann (Inquisition's secret lich)
GM's backstory: originally a non-magical human from another world,
trapped for 20 years in a cave saturated with necromantic energy -
transformed into a lich through prolonged exposure rather than a
deliberate ritual. Moved to Earth afterward and joined the Inquisition,
rising to Senior Inquisitor.
Dramatic irony worth keeping as an open GM hook: the Inquisition
actively hunts illegal necromancy, and one of its senior members is
undead herself. Left whether her superiors know/tolerate this or she's
hiding it as an open question rather than inventing an answer. Added to
disciplines/Nekromancja.md's practitioners list and a new Inkwizycja
section in npcs.md (first NPC filed under that org).
* feat(npcs): flesh out Xillith Isherwood, add Talonos backstory
* feat(npcs): flesh out Talonos Isherwood personality and backstory
* feat(npcs): add Nicodemus Florens (Crimson Cult Archpriest / Sol-3 double agent)
* feat(npcs): flesh out Pelagius Caudex, resolve Nil/Diana possession event, cross-link Syllia/Norbert
* feat(npcs): flesh out Urszula Callistis, add Croix Meridies, resolve Norbert's witch-magic anomaly
* feat(npcs): major Diana Koniecpolska deep-dive - full life chapters, Nil possession/split, Harbinger transformation
Cross-linked into Narcyza (curse secret), Kiara, Aurora, Poslancy roster, Robert Zaryn, and Bezimienny.
* feat(npcs): add Narcyza's physical appearance details
* feat(npcs): flesh out Aurora Nylabelle, the Diana romance arc, and Maedinitia's clinginess
* feat(npcs): note Aurora's role assisting Diana's experiments

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).
This file (1225 lines) had a severe, systemic version of a bug seen in
smaller doses in earlier books: from partway through Rozdział II onward
(~1130 lines, everything through Rozdział X and all 4 annexes), section
headings had degraded into plain paragraph text during a prior sync -
no "#" markers at all. Content wasn't lost, just unstructured: no
outline, no working internal links, and the auto-generated
table-of-contents block only ever covered the first two chapters.
Restored headings programmatically by matching each plain-text line
against the doc's actual heading list (in document order, to avoid
mismatching duplicate-looking section names) and re-adding the correct
"#" level - 202 headings fixed. Replaced the now very-stale hand-written
TOC (which only listed chapters I-II) with the same auto-generating
`table-of-contents` plugin block already used elsewhere in the vault
(e.g. lore/02), since hand-maintaining 200+ TOC lines isn't sustainable.
Diffed the full chapter III-X + annexes text against the doc afterward:
only one real content difference in ~1300 lines - a singular/plural
mismatch ("który pierwotnie popierał" vs "którzy pierwotnie popierali")
that changed whether one prince or several supported the founding of
Królestwo Zaryn. Fixed to match the book (singular, matches Robert Zaryn
being established elsewhere as the sole founder).
Confirmed the ~16 headings that didn't restore (Ziemia/Hiondirs detail
subsections under Rozdział II) are intentional: that content already
lives in locations/Ziemia (Sol-3-1725)/... and locations/Hiondirs-4/...,
correctly split out per the established book-links-out-to-entity-file
pattern, headings and all.
