A Familiar Rune

This update adds new ways to unlock additional forms for your Familiar! If you have unlocked Chapter 2 of the Spellbook, Aya will request your help with solving a magical mystery. Investigate, and you'll be able to unlock the mysteries of changing your trusty Familiar's forms!

We've also rescaled townsfolk Favor so that all noticeboard tasks are able to keep contributing some favor gain, ensuring that you're always rewarded for helping your neighbours!
