Heart of the Storm
-
[]Bug Fix: No longer inappropriately functions with cantrips.[/]
[]Bug Fix: No longer triggers if a spell has a "DamageType" of Thunder or Lightning specified that doesn't actually deal those damage types in its "SpellProperties" or "SpellSuccess".[/]
[]Bug Fix: Can be used while under the effects of more non-hostile and non-spellcasting restricted Polymorphs.[/]
[]Changes: Can now be used by Invisible player characters.[/]
Wild Magic
-
[]Bug Fix: "WILD_MAGIC_GUARANTEED" is no longer referenced as a status in the conditions.[/]
[]Changes: Added proper support for the "SORCERER_WILD_MAGIC_SUPRESSED" tag that prevents Wild Magic surges and is unused in vanilla. When the entity has it alongside the "SORCERER_WILD_MAGIC_GUARANTEED" tag they cancel each other out.[/]
Tides of Chaos
-
[]Bug Fix: The passive toggle has been removed, as it's unreliable and seemingly bugged. It won't really be missed as this feature works better as an interrupt anyway, providing the player finer control.[/]
[]Bug Fix: Can be used while under the effects of non-hostile Polymorphs.[/]

[]Changes: The interrupt which previously only functioned for failed Ability Checks, Attack Rolls and Saving Throws has been renamed and split into 2 Interrupts, "Tides of Chaos (Failure)" and "Tides of Chaos (Success)"; with these changes the player has complete control on when it triggers.[/]
