0.3.1	Fixed a bug where Firestorm was still unable to inflict ignite despite no longer consuming ignite.
0.3.0	The base damage scaling of all player spell and secondary damage skills has been tweaked to scale better in the late game. Firestorm: Now has a base Radius of 2.8 metres (previously 5.6), and creates one bolt every 0.2 seconds (previously every 0.1 seconds). No longer consumes Ignite to create improved bolts, instead, it can now consume every type of Elemental Infusion. Fire Infusion causes the storm to double in size and create three times as many bolts. Cold and Lightning Infusions cause the storm to create additional cold and lightning bolts respectively. One of each Infusion can be consumed by a single use of the Skill. Fire Bolt damage is now 16-56 to 23-83 at Gem levels 11-20 (previously 26-96 to 39-144).
0.2.1	Firestorm can now consume Ignites from corpses in front of you in addition to living enemies. Added "Barrageable" gem tag.[Undocumented]

0.1.0d	Rain of Arrows and Firestorm now have a hit-rate limit to prevent cases of them absolutely obliterating very large bosses. This will have little to no impact outside of boss fights with very large hitboxes.
0.1.0	Introduced to the game.
