Other:

• The word "Permanently" was added to Wild Magic's text.

• Refined Spear given a slight green tint to signal the "Elven" type.

• Silver Lance sprite completely reworked to better distinguish it from Refined Spear.

• The "Sharpen" and "Upgrade" encounter now works on Magic type items as well.

• Void Stinger sprite slightly changed so it doesn't get confused for a dagger.

• Added "." separation for damage on The Oak. (I.e. 1.000.000)

Fixes:

• Some items that triggered other items, didn't trigger them as many times as they were supposed to.

• Snowflakes, Moonveil and Lunar Codex projectiles sometimes moved slower than intended on 60 FPS. This has been fixed.

• Items gained from a triple chest no longer has a chance of being "on sale" from the salesman encounter.

Remember that the PvP environment might still contain old / unnerfed builds for an hour or two.

Expect balance changes / hotfixes in the next hours/days.
