[h3]Fixes:[/h3]

• Spikey Mace: The word "Permanently" added to the item text.
  
• Astral Hammer: Now works as intended if tripled.
  

[h3]Other:[/h3]

• Natures call now works on Cursed Necklace. This was disabled because it was a pretty op interaction, where Cursed Necklace would get a lot of multicast (each trigger will give itself exponentially scaling multicast in combat). However, since CN has a fairly long cooldown I wanted to enabled it and see how it goes.
  
• Added an indicator in the shop (underneath level) to see what chest reward you will earn from triples. Hover with mouse to see what levels the reward will upgrade.
  

As always, the PvP environment will take an hour or two to flush out old/unnerfed player builds from the pool. Early round builds will be flushed quicker.

As my exams approach, I will not be doing more updates until early june.
