Warning:
- Avoid mapping the ability menu to keys/buttons already used by Valheim (such as
Efor interact, or D-Pad Down for Guardian Power) to prevent conflicts. - If you experience issues with abilities not triggering or menus not opening, try different mappings.

Valhalla Dome in Multiplayer:

- If the player disconnects or logs out, the dome may revert to a standard shield generator object.
- These are network synchronization issues and may be improved in future updates.
