# Animus 5.2.3
## Changes
- The Animus advancement tab now uses a deepslate bricks background instead of a stretched altar texture.
- The Codex Animus guide book now has a crafting recipe: a book plus a Tabula Rasa.
- The Crystallized Spiritus Block is now presented as an alternate capstone for the Transcendent Ara Vitae, and the Transcendent Orb of Vitae as a higher-capacity alternative to the Divinus Orb, matching how altar tiers now work. Tooltips, JEI, advancements, and the guide book have been updated to match.
## Fixed
- The Binding Key curio slot showed a missing texture instead of its key icon, and the Binding Key could be lost on death instead of always being kept.
- The Sentient Shield could not be crafted because its recipe demanded more Spiritus than a Petty Spiritus Gem can hold. It now needs 64, a full Petty gem, like other sentient gear.
- The Transcendent Ascension advancement (formerly Tier 6 Ascension) could never be earned; it now unlocks when you build a Transcendent Ara Vitae.
- The Ritual of Sol now recognizes the Sigil of Blood Light and places Blood Light instead of ordinary torches when one is in its chest.
- The Sigil of Temporal Dominance now correctly detects blocks already being accelerated by Time in a Bottle (and should support GAG once it ports unless they change some things) and refuses to stack with them.
