BUG FIXES
Fixed a bug that often caused fire spin to be unreliable. The attack would often fail to knock back or damage enemies that were clearly hit by it. This fix is expected to have improved the reliability of Spore Dance as well.
Fixed a bug that caused Spore Dance to hit twice in a row, instantly waking up the target, if the user rapidly pressed the key while being staggered.
Fixed a bug that prevented characters from dying while standing in Angelic Ray.
Fixed a bug that caused attacks to sometimes persist between rounds.
