A Few Updates

Just a few updates on things that I have planned for later down the road!

Arena
The Arena will be a location where you must visit with a single character in your party. If you meet this simple criteria, you will be able to enter arena fights with the character. You will get a ladder of ten battles to go through. Depending on how far you get, you will receive arena tokens. These can be exchanged for goods at the rewards shop (which will operate like a standard shop).

Party Leader
Unlike in Blackmoon Prophecy, Vahn is not going to be the fixed party leader. You will be able to have any four characters in your party that you choose once you reach a point in the game where you are traveling with five or more characters. Like in Blackmoon Prophecy II with Zephyr, Vahn is still the audience surrogate character and players will follow him through the story.

Summons
I'm mostly taking inspiration from Final Fantasy VI here with my summons. Summons will be equipped in the "Codex" slot on the equip screen, as the summon monsters turn into legendary scrolls before bestowing themselves upon the party. When equipped on a specific character, they will receive level up bonuses from the equipped summon which will usually be in the form of an extra few points of strength, defense, and so forth.

When equipping a summon codex, the "Summon" ability will show up for the character who has it equipped. Here they will be able to find their equipped summon (or summons if the player chooses to only equip summons in the two codex spots). You will be able to use the equipped summon once per battle, so you will need to use it when it counts!
