Version history

Version	Changes
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. The following skills found as inherent skills on Wands and Staves now deal approximately 12% more Damage from skill level 11 onwards: Bone Blast, Chaos Bolt, Decompose, Firebolt, Freezing Shards, Lightning Bolt, Power Siphon, and Solar Orb.
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. Decompose, the Skill granted by the Corpsewade Unique Boots, now causes the Poison Cloud to poison enemies as though dealing Chaos damage equal up to 10% of Corpse's Maximum Life at Gem levels 1-20 (previously 30-39.5%). Gas Arrow, Gas Grenades and Decompose now have a limit of 6 Poison Clouds. Skills with Expanding ground effects were unintentionally scaling radius over time instead of area of effect. They still scale the radius, though we have updated the descriptions and lowered the values on many of the affected skills: The Poison Cloud on Gas Arrow, Gas Grenade and Decompose now gain 20% more Radius per second, up to a maximum of 80% (all previously 50%, up to a maximum of 200%).
0.1.0	Introduced to the game.
