Magnetic Salvo now deals 100-140% of Attack Damage with Impact at Gem levels 13-20 (previously 89-125%), and 155-218% of Attack Damage with Explosion at Gem levels 13-20 (previously 177-250%). It now Fires up to 8 Missiles at all Gem levels (previously 14-17 at Gem levels 13-20). Quality now provides +0-4 Missiles, instead of 0-20% more Projectile Damage.
0.1.0e	Magnetic Salvo can now only use your stuck Lightning Arrows as opposed to those created by your Party Members.
0.1.0	Introduced to the game. (Hotfix 8) Reduced the damage of Magnetic Salvos explosions by approximately by 40%.
