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. Generally speaking, spells that do not have damage number changes called out below will have near-identical base damage at low levels, roughly 5% more damage at gem level 20, and roughly 20% more damage at gem level 30. Living Bomb and Solar Orb have swapped places. Living Bomb is now a tier 5 Elemental Skill Gem, while Solar Orb is an inherent skill to Pyrophyte StavesPyrophyte StaffStaffRequires Level 16Grants Skill: Level (5-20) Solar Orb. Existing items are not affected by this change. Living Bomb: No longer explodes at the end of its duration. Instead, it explodes upon dealing sufficient damage to the enemy, or just killing it. It now drops a Fire Infusion Remnant on exploding. It now has a base duration of 5 seconds (previously 2.5).
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.
0.1.0	Introduced to the game.
