    Fractured client v0.7.45-grave-fiend

    Pairs with server main @ 434dd90.

    This refresh keeps Dawn's Grave Fiend/Rune Strike work and adds the latest Spellthief client/server work so other contributors can test from the hosted release instead of rebuilding locally.

    Spellthief SQL hotfix: 2026_05_18_00_spellthief_catalog_table.sql repairs existing catalog-table schemas before the harvested catalog update replays, fixing VPS rebuilds that failed on missing acquisition.

    Demorph create-spell hotfix: new Spellthieves receive Demorph through playercreateinfo_spell_custom as well as the login safety grant.

    What changed in patch-enUS-4.MPQ

    • Archive compacted: patch-4 was rebuilt cleanly to remove stale in-place MPQ replacement sectors while preserving current content.

    • Grave Surge and Grave Resonance buff bar: active Grave Fiend auras now use non-passive visible aura flags so they appear as player buffs.

    • Glyph of Grave Fiend (minor glyph 50102): client DBCs for spells 951070-951074, buff-bar visibility, and 75% Resonance tooltips.

    • Rune Strike (56815): baseline usability, 40 RP in DBC, and updated tooltip text.

    • Spellthief DBC support: Spell Browser test catalog, Spellthief spellbook framework entries, Demorph utility spell data, source-display metadata, leveling metadata, multi-clone witness data, and browser catalog data.

    Spellthief work included

    • Strength paper doll tooltip displays the Fractured +2 Attack Power per Strength formula for Paragon/Spellthief.
    • Spirit paper doll tooltip uses stock-style mana regeneration wording alongside the Fractured spell-power contribution.
    • Spell Browser support for pending learn/unlearn queues, learned spell overview, favorites/search flow, and browser-learned spell testing.
    • Borrowed-form visuals for Spellthief spells using the learned source creature display, with an explicit Demorph spell in the General tab.
    • Direct single-target Spellthief damage grants Runic Power, excluding damage-over-time ticks.
    • Catalog/schema updates needed for source displays, creature-type browsing, leveling metadata, and multi-source clone handling.
