Awakened Mode

Awakened Mode is a new difficulty introduced in Elements Awoken. It is a much increased difficulty level to Expert Mode. It is activated by using the Elemental Capsule, which is in the players inventory on player creation. It is only usable in an Expert world. This mode can be enabled and disabled at any time in the game.
