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. Fixed a bug where effects that consume shocks could only consume a single shock at once. If the target has multiple active shocks, they now consume (and benefit from) all of them.
0.1.0	Introduced to the game.
