Blade, Axe and Polearm Mastery skills has been added. These will increase damage output of sword and dagger, axe and mace, spear and staff respectively by level of the skill. So the 80/100 axe with 3 levels of Axe Mastery will become 80/100 + 240/400.

We have addressed the ongoing issue with inexperienced mages being able to use spells with massive destructive power (Fire Wind, Frost Blast and Lightning Bolt) with ease. Focusing magical powers to cast these spells was never supposed to be easy, so since now characters will have to skip any combat seplls in a round following casting these spells if the character does not have the degree of Bachelor in Magic (this skill may be learned in the Academy of Combat Magic).

Additionally, there were changed to buffing spells mechanism - effects providing percentage bonuses will now be added together before modifying the parameter instead of affecting the results of modification.
