A bit technical patch in preparation for Spell Memetics update coming next. Included are:
A Spell Shards pool and Shards distribution rework
All Spell Shards gained are now accumulated into the reworked Shards Pool and then 10% of your total is distributed into your selected spells every 0.1 second. The Pool has an upgradeable cap of Shards it can accumulate that maxes out at e7 and higher for Abolisher and Archon through respective pets' perks.
Some balance and core changes (see full patchnotes ingame):
- Base mana source costs reduced.
- "Psychic Cacophony". New ability at level 700 - increase amount of Arcanasprings, equal to (level - 700).
