Version history

Version	Changes
3.12.1	Fixed a bug with Asenath's Gentle Touch where the explosions damaged players.
3.12.0	Items which apply a Curse to an enemy (such as the curse-on-hit Ring modifiers) no longer specify a level, and instead have a set magnitude for their values with a fixed amount of Doom, which is overwritten when another source applies a more potent version (similar to Arcane Surge).
3.7.1	Re-enabled the explosions from Asenath's Gentle Touch unique gloves. These explosions no longer damage friendly characters.
3.7.0	No longer drop outside of the Legion challenge leagues. Versions dropped in Legion will have new modifiers and balance which we won't be spoiling here. Now has +60 to 80 to maximum Life and +60 to 80 maximum Mana. Existing versions can be updated using a Divine Orb. (Not in patch note) New version keeps non-aura curses on dying enemies (Not in patch note) New version blinds enemies near corpses affected by your curses and on death causes them to explode, dealing 3% of their life as physical damage.
2.6.0	The following changes cannot be obtained by rerolling the item's mods with a Divine OrbDivine OrbStack Size: 10Randomises the numeric values of the random modifiers on an itemRight click this item then left click a magic, rare or unique item to apply it.
