The last of the inked look. Walls carry stone joints and highlights,
doors their grain, hinges, and a brass lock plate whose keyhole turns
to a cross when jammed; battle scars fracture and branch with the
damage; illusion walls drift as tapered wisps with breathing glints;
the wall of fire burns in flat three-tone flames on a stepped flicker;
warp mouths and destinations are painted curls. Through a wizard's
eyes the punch is a three-tone hand with an ink contour and a
hand-cut POW, the same on every platform where the emoji glyph was
not, and the incoming fist no longer reverses late in its travel. The
inked stand-ins for missing conjuration files match. Goldens
re-blessed: every board frame, and the web's third ring.

Eric repainted the maze. The first-person materials are painterly
sandstone, flagstone, and iron; the hand-drawn token set is redrawn
with matching chests and hats; the standing conjurations — hedges,
jello, dust, safe, warp light — and the effect billboards are redone
in the same hand; and the board's flourishes trade their filters and
gradients for flat cel silhouettes cut from five shared shapes, which
read better against the counters and cost a phone nothing. Thirty
scene goldens re-blessed against the new walls.

A day of Eric watching the clips as a newcomer would.
The camera can pitch: FirstPerson takes a `pitch` that shears the
horizon up the pane (walls center on it, the eye stays half a wall
high), so the ground at the pane's foot comes within half a cell. The
director uses it for deeds at your own feet — a conjuration on your
square, a treasure taken up, the pit you fell down — instead of the
cutaway that stepped outside your body.
Everything shows through a warp. The floor pass now runs between the
cast and the wall draw, so a column that bent through a mouth maps its
ground through the warp's rigid motion and wears the far room's decals
— the pit past the wormhole included — under the same violet haze as
its walls.
A wizard down a pit is public (inPit on the player view), drawn sunk to
the floor line in first person and dimmed on the board. A body sharing
your square, which had no depth to draw at, stands right in front of
you. A pit leap glides like a shove instead of cutting. And the
director's blocked-sight test no longer counts a warp BEYOND the
target as a block, nor stands a cutaway camera inside another wizard's
square — the pair that put Wanderer's face across the whole pane.
The reel stops for a die: a card over the held world names who rolls
and for what, tumbles the faces on the reel's own clock, lands the
roll, and only then plays the outcome; the beat, the fx, the glides
and the camera all wait it out. A punch by you drives a fist into the
scene; one at you comes at the camera; both land with a comic POW.
film-clips rolls until the reel's last move rather than a fixed count,
and the gate settles longer on a step whose caption rolls a die. All
thirty goldens re-blessed.

Two things for a viewer who has never seen the game. When the reel's
pov passes to another wizard, the cut used to be instant — one wizard
apparently teleporting. Now a slate wipes across the pane: a dark band
sweeps in over the old sight, holds with the new wizard's standee and
THROUGH THE EYES OF <name>, and sweeps off to reveal theirs. It is an
FpFx ("slate") drawn by the renderer on the reel's own clock, so the
harness and the film see the same frames.
The caption grows a right-hand column: strides left to spend this turn
as a countdown, ♥ life, and chips for what the wizard carries,
displays, or suffers — a treasure, displayed cards, spells on them
with turns remaining, lost turns, banked Pass Wall, attack spent. The
save-video composite carries the same column.
All thirty scene goldens re-blessed: the caption is inside every
frame. The 3D panes are pixel-identical to the previous goldens.

deploy/verify-scenes.sh replays each screenplay to its authored beats
under a paused Playwright clock — pulses, tweens, and fx advance only
on the harness's schedule, so the same beat renders the same bytes
every run — screenshots the reel, and diffs pixels against the goldens
in deploy/scene-goldens (30 frames: warp transits, impacts, curses
landing, in both views). A channel may drift 6 before a pixel counts,
0.2% of pixels before a beat fails; --update blesses intended changes.
Proven both ways before landing: a clean double-run reproduces all 30
goldens exactly, and resurrecting the warp-smear cutaway bug fails the
warp-transit beat at 61% pixel drift.
