Item	Description

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. Frost Wall: Now deals 80% less damage in the first 0.5 seconds of its duration.
0.2.0	Ice crystals can no longer apply on kill effects such as Herald of Ash and Trampletoe's overkill. 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. Frost Wall now has a Cooldown of 5 seconds (previously 3 seconds). Ice Crystals created by Glacial Bolt and Frost Wall now have lowered life scaling past gem level 20. Their scaling up until this point is unchanged.
0.1.1	Fixed a bug where Siege Cascade was targeting Vine Arrow plants and Frostwall Ice Crystals. Fixed a bug with dodge roll which allowed the player to roll through Bone Walls and Frost Walls.
0.1.0e	Fixed a bug where Frost Wall segments could leave phantom walls, causing invisible blocking.
0.1.0	Introduced to the game.
