Whoops, I think I forgot to compile with wizard mode enabled. I'll update the binary.

IVAN 0.507 is out!

Sorry for the delay, I was sick this weekend.

There's this out: https://github.com/Attnam/ivan/pull/175
In the data files, humanoid ghosts (spirit) already have

BodyPartsDisappearWhenSevered = true;

so it should work like golems and genies now.

I'll make ghost limbs severable, and make them disappear when severed until I can think of a proper way to do this.

The reason I made it so ghosts couldn't lose limbs is because it seemed odd to hack limbs off a ghost. Head, torso and groin are still vital on a ghost.

There are a number of possibilties:
1) Make ghost's limbs disappear when severed - most common behaviour for a few special humanoid characters
2) Make all of the ghost body parts vital - easier to one-hit a ghost
3) Redirect all the damage incurred on arms and legs etc to the torso - easier to land blows and probably kill the ghost faster
4) Leave it as it is, JoKe's WM-pumped character wasn't landing any body blows anyway.

Does it need to be fixed? Or is it a new and curious feature?

You could say it negatively affects the game.

Menu, victory and defeat tracks are actually empty at this stage... but that is a good point. I don't know how the music would respond.

Um, so to simplify matters we reverted the change: https://github.com/Attnam/ivan/pull/171
This means there will be no change in the next release.

Update: The lead dev (Adrian Gin) for the music subsystem published a guide on the wiki outlining the allocation of channels inside each track: https://attnam.com/wiki/Music_Creation in case anyone was keen to write tracks for the game

I reasoned more blink dogs because they can call up their buddies when panicked and the player can be surrounded by a horde of them in time. So it would require some skill to get the blink dogs to swarm so you could have enough of them to get the permanent stat.
Floating eyes are harder to come by so I thought probably just leave them at three.
