This update is a mixture of bug fixes and progress on the Undead/Death/Necromancy theme. The next one can be expected to have a similar focus, but shifting a bit from Death mastery to Necromancy and improving the various unique mechanics related to those dark arts. Full patch notes below. Misc and Bug Fixes
