Version history

Version	Changes
0.2.0	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. The mana cost for all Attacks, Marks and Warcries has been reduced, most notably at higher Gem levels. Glacial Bolt Walls now last 8 seconds (previously 6). Ice Crystals created by Glacial Bolt and Frost Wall now have lowered life scaling past gem level 20. Their scaling up until this point is unchanged.
0.1.0	Introduced to the game.
