🎨🖌️Vulture Scribe Concept Art 🖌️🎨

🪶Vulture lost a lot of feathers inscribing tales.
🧑‍🍳Now they are the Ink Brewer for ink upgrades.

🦃Folklore tends to have birds as messengers due to beliefs that they soar high in the sky close to the gods.

✨Polish pass on the visual transition from the 📚Level Selection Book to the 🌎level location.

❌Meaning they are immune to DoT (damage over time) status effects such as 🩸Bleed 🟢Poison &🔥Burn

❓What else do you think ghosts should be immune to?
