Don't worry, I will continue to update! With the promise of a new stable version just on the horizon (a promise some would scoff at, but I'm more than willing to give Chucklefish the benefit of the doubt), I've been investing my efforts in keeping my nightly version as up-to-date as possible. That way, when this new stable release does finally go live, the kineptic can spring right into it without delay.
Sadly, I don't think the fireball spells are going to make it into that initial release. Balancing is an absolute pain, especially when you suddenly get hurt by the little molotov flames that the higher-level fireballs spit out. But I will eventually get them all in there.

It's funny how something as simple as making fire hydrophobic adds to something, doesn't it?
I overlooked that functionality with the willowisp that got added in the most recent update.
Armors also got added; the sprites are tentative. I will be using the same method Ryu used for armors: The sprite sheets for armors and vanity are stupidly space-inefficient, and I'd like to keep the mod's file size as small as possible to reduce the duration of downloading it.
And besides, who actually wears the armor as vanity, anyway?
I do have a reason for not advancing past tier 4 on spells: The last six tiers are being split into different lines. I'd prefer not to have to rebalance.
As for the gloves, you are correct that they boost metabolism. They use the user's body like a battery. Eventually I hope to extend this to ALL spells, but it won't be anywhere near as drastic as with healing. Running out of energy is no big deal as long as you can get away. Starving is much less forgiving.
As for caffeine, I didn't use it because--while it does boost awareness--it does not provide fuel for metabolism like sugar, fat, and protein do. That's why all of their foods use sugar, meat, and otherwise unhealthy recipes. A pound of pure lard yields just a little less caloric output than a pound of gasoline. They need that energy to do work. Without that energy, their gloves also stop working...and so does the kineptic wearing it.
I can't quite remember were I was going with that. I think it had something to do with them not being 'true' wizards. It's technology. If we brought someone from 1000 years ago to the present, our flying metal monsters, picture frames to alternate realities, healing potions, and talking familiars that live in our pockets would probably seem pretty magical to them ;3
