I have an idea what Maxwell's rework might look like.
- Better Shadow Duelists:
- Raise the Shadow Duelist's max sanity cost to at least 55% so Maxwell won't be able to spawn more than one duelist.
- Make them to kite with Maxwell. (For example: Star really close and walk with him.)
- Make them to not fight alone. (Attacks are synchronised with Maxwell's attacks like a real shadow, so he could do 2 attacks at once with one duelist.)
- Better Shadow Workers AI:
- More control over Shadow Workers. (Like "telling" them what to do; I really hate when Shadow Miners are destroying not even fully grown marble trees etc.)
Some other uses of the Codex Umbra than just Maxwell's shadows - I don't have idea what it could be,
maybe summoning shadow tentacles (like those from the Thulecite Club),
4-5 tentacles per use and every use will cost 25-30% of the max sanity; tentacles could be invincible, last for 15-30 sec.
I know that may sound op but it would be just weaker Wickerbottom's tentacles.
