- Spending, Consuming, and Draining Resource:
- Spending Resource is the act of casting skills and your resource being reduced by an amount. Some mechanics in the game interact with spending and the amount spent can be reduced with the Resource Cost Reduction stat.
- Consuming Resource counts as spending resource for the purposes of interacting with ability mechanics. The amount Consumed is fixed and cannot be lowered by Resource Cost Reduction.
- Draining Resource does not count as spending for the purposes of interacting with ability mechanics. The amount Drained is fixed and cannot be lowered by Resource Cost Reduction.
- Resplendent Chests in the Temple of Rot have been replaced with regular chests.
