"Intensity growth" setting?

[shde2e]

What does the "intensity growth" difficulty setting actually do?
It's not really clear what they mean by intensifying or setbacks to me. Does it have to do with the dynamic difficulty?

The driving factor in the game for event occurrence/frequency is intensity. So yes, very much it's the driving force of the "dynamic" aspect of difficulty.

Mage Score is also very important to the difficulty and the two work in combination. At higher mage scores, for example, the intensity can result in multiple events occurring at the same time. In my current game, for example, I was once assaulted by breathstealers and fog monsters at the same time.
