Version history

Version	Changes
0.2.0	Concoction Skills now require an unarmed weapon set. They no longer deal your base unarmed damage, instead dealing only attack damage specified from the Skill, like Marks. They now consume 5 Mana Flask charges per use (previously 3). Many Skills have had their base damage and/or damage growth per level rebalanced. Most of these changes are not specifically mentioned below as the changes are too widespread. Explosive Concoction now has 200% more Magnitude of Ignite inflicted (previously 100%).
