1.2.0 - 2026-07-05

• Added configurable Intelligence bonuses for vanilla experience and damage-based Soul progression.
• Moved attribute rewards to a validated tree-structured JSON file with legacy TOML migration.

• Restricted player respec to the Amnesia Scroll and Potion of Withered Memory.
• Added a resource-pack-replaceable 3D Soul Lens model exported from Blockbench while retaining spyglass use behavior and the inventory presentation.
