The Witch Hat: An Iconic Symbol in Occult Traditions

Witch hats have a long and fascinating cultural background that is rooted in ancient beliefs and practices. The association between witches and hats can be traced back to various cultures and time periods. **The iconic pointed shape of the witch hat is often attributed to its symbolic connection to a conical headdress worn by ancient priestesses and seers.** In some ancient societies, it was believed that these seers could communicate with the spirit world and tap into supernatural powers. Additionally, **witch hats can also be linked to the broader history of European witchcraft and its persecution during the Middle Ages and early modern period.** During this time, witch hunts and trials were prevalent, and accused witches were often depicted wearing pointed hats as a sign of their perceived evil and association with the Devil.

Nothing that important, but when I try to put a watermark on the reverse side of a DFC, whenever I click on the side of the card s textbox to bring up the drop-down menu for watermarks, the menu only flashes up for a fraction of a second and then disappears, making it impossible to put a watermark on that side.

One question: is there a template for class cards such as the Bard Class from AFR available yet? I swear I gave a thorough look and couldn't find one!

Bug Fixes
• Fixes a bug where the Copyright box would sometimes move as though the Vorthos Box was enabled when it wasn't.
• Fixes a bug where d20 dividers weren't visible on clear frames. ( wrathgaar )
• Fixes a bug where Custom masks on Planeswalkers stopped working. Note that new masks need to be 375x523px because of layering change to the template with MSE 2.1.2. ( shagore )
• Fixes a bug where the modal bumping code wasn't applying to Mainframe DFC.
• The PUMA mask is no longer applied to custom legend crowns to fix this bug. ( cardist )

Thanks, Cajun! You're an absolute god amongst men and I hope you wake up aware of that fact every single day.

I have actually discovered another potential bug in the meantime however. Nothing that important, but when I try to put a watermark on the reverse side of a DFC, whenever I click on the side of the card's textbox to bring up the drop-down menu for watermarks, the menu only flashes up for a fraction of a second and then disappears, making it impossible to put a watermark on that side. On the front face of the card the drop-down menu still works as normal though, just as for any regular card. I can't show a screenshot obviously, but I wonder if you or anyone else has this problem as I've described it too?

Installed the latest style templates, trying to use inverted for colored artifact cards, missing a couple files (see attachment). Were these left out of the update? I checked and couldn't find them in the update.

Classes are available in the Saga frame as a Style option, or automatically when "Class" is on the typeline
