⚡ NEW: Identity Evolution Progression System

A brand-new lightweight progression system that rewards gameplay with XP and tier evolution!

How It Works

1. Earn XP by using your role's abilities (+10 XP) and getting player kills (+50 XP)
2. Reach 1,000 XP to evolve your identity from Tier I → Tier II
3. Tier II grants a 1.2× ability multiplier — your abilities become stronger (duration, damage, summon count, etc.)
4. Changing roles resets your progress — keeps the gameplay loop fresh and encourages commitment

Evolution Features

Feature	Details
🎮 XP from Abilities	+10 XP every time you successfully activate an ability
⚔️ XP from Kills	+50 XP per valid player kill
🏆 Tier II Evolution	Evolve at 1,000 XP — grants 1.2× ability multiplier
✨ Evolution Effects	Challenge complete sound, totem particles, and title screen on tier up
🔄 Role Change Reset	Switching roles wipes all XP and tier progress
🛡️ Anti-Abuse	60-second cooldown per victim — can't farm kills on the same player
💾 Persistent	All progress saved to progression.yml — survives restarts
⚙️ Fully Configurable	Every value is customizable in config.yml
❌ Optional	Disable entirely with identity-evolution.enabled: false

🔌 Placeholders — Now Live!

Three placeholders that were previously stubs now return real, live data:

Placeholder	Returns
%identitysteal_tier%	Current tier level (1 or 2)
%identitysteal_xp%	Current XP amount
%identitysteal_nexttier_xp%	XP remaining until next tier

These work with both PlaceholderAPI and the built-in sidebar scoreboard.

🛡️ Ability Scaling for Roles

All roles now have access to tier-based ability scaling through a new getTierMultiplier() method in the base Role class. Tier II players automatically get stronger abilities — roles can opt-in to scale duration, damage, summon counts, and more.
