Next, Technomancer! Technomancer has received a number of adjustements aimed at defining its identity as a "mana berserker" while also discouraging losing MP by use of minimum WIS sets/swapping.

Drive Boost will now disable for 1 turn for every Level/10 WIS deviation beyond the allowed threshold (Level/5 WIS), rather than a fixed 3 turns.
- The WIS deviation threshold for triggering Recalibration has been fixed to be Level/5 WIS, rather than Level/10 WIS. (18 WIS at 90, up from 9 WIS at 90)
- If the player's WIS deviates by more than the Recalibration threshold, they will be given Recalibration for a number turns equal to each additional Level/10 WIS threshold crossed.
  - For example, at level 90, you will be able to increase or decrease WIS by 18 without triggering Recalibration.
  - However, a deviation of 19-27 WIS will trigger Recalibration for 2 turns, 28-36 WIS will trigger Recalibration for 3 turns, etc.
- Triggering additional Recalibration effects while Recalibration is already active will add additional turns to the remaining Recalibration duration.
Drive Boost rounding has been adjusted to be slightly more accurate
Heat now deducts MP from the player before calculating Drive Boost and usable skills for that turn.
Skill Order has been adjusted so all Dragon Amulet skills are now on the right side of the skill bar.
