Version History

Version	Changes
3.6.0	Now grants 15% more spell damage while active at gem level 1 (from 20%), up to 28% more spell damage at gem level 20 (from 39%).
3.4.0	Now sacrifices the amount of Life and Energy Shield from Energy Shield before Life. In other words, low-life builds should not have the skill disable on use as long as they have enough Energy Shield to cover both the Life and Energy Shield costs.
3.3.0	Now removes 30% of life and energy shield to deal damage over time, as opposed to removing all but 1HP and dealing instant damage. Now has the "duration" tag. All vaal gems now include their non-vaal counterpart. Now has a soul gain prevention period, preventing you from gaining souls for a short period of time after use.
1.1.5	Introduced to the game.
