Patch notesPatch 1.01

The first balance update

Ten spells rebalanced after the first day of matches. The long-range dashes, Shocking grasp, Lightning bolt and Judgement reach less far, Earthquake covers a smaller area, Biotic grenade reaches further and Disintegrate flies faster. Final ritual no longer resets on a kill, and Soul drain now costs mana for as long as it drains.
