Vol 1 Changes

Whew, that took awhile.  Here's the differences I picked up on the first read.  I based my comparison on the English translations in Japtem, so I'm not sure if the raws have been updated any.  I also left out earlier changes we already knew about, like the number of labyrinths going from 8 to 7 or the removal of Lily's younger sister.

A little bit more detail is given regarding status plates.  The church possesses an artifact that can produce them, which is why they have enough to provide to every citizen despite not knowing how to make them.  Also, the status plate changes color depending on the person's magic color.  Hajime's original magic color is light blue azure.  Kouki's is pure white, Ryuutaro's is forest green, Kaori's is white violet, Shizuku's is lapis lazuli blue.
