Update Content:
I. New Event
1. Shadowmaster Invitational Event Starts
● Duration: 
10/16 04:00:00–10/30 04:00:00
● Event Intro:
 Wu Ming's hosting a "world class" Shadowshaper Duels invitational, and you're invited. What do you say? Are you up to the challenge?
A total of 7 tournament stages will open as the event progresses. Win the current stage to challenge the next one. Opponents for each stage will use a fixed deck, and Lightbearers can choose 1 of 2 pre-made decks to challenge them.
● Rewards:
 Each stage has a reward for winning the duel, as well as a reward for winning with over 30 Power. Elemental Fruit Choice Chests, Undefined Incandescence Sheaves, and more are up for grabs. Clearing Stage 7 also grants a limited Shadowshaper Duels - Ghost Card Back!
