Magic Mirror Update: Mage Customization + Staff Lounge Room + QoL

[h3]Build a Magic Mirror and change the look of your Mages however you'd like. Clothing, hair, colors, it's all within the power of the mirror![/h3]

[h3]Once your staff are dressed to impress, they’ll head to the Staff Lounge to sip, relax, and recharge. They'll boost Recreation and gain Conviction while they unwind in style!
[/h3]

[h3]We got excited about customizing Mages, so now you can also customize the color of lights in your school. Just select a Torch, Brazier, or Candelabra and select the color you'd like.
[/h3]

[h3]Make sure and check out the new screenshot mode that we used to get these shots! Look for it on the bottom center time panel.[/h3]

[h3]As usual, there's also a ton of other fixes, balance, and QoL in this update. We're so very thankful for everyone who helped us test the Magic Mirror.[/h3]
