Version history

Version	Changes
0.2.1	Added "Barrageable" gem tag.[Undocumented]
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. Fireball no longer bypasses the Raging Spirit limit. The secondary Fireball projectiles are no longer affected by additional projectiles, this was mostly to prevent performance issues when used with Wildshards Support.
0.1.0	Introduced to the game.
