UI
The tooltips and values of the Epic Spell Power feats and Legendary feats have been adjusted to make them easier to understand when looking at your character sheet.

 * Old Spell Power feat: +15% damage for a specific type, +5% to all other types.
 * New Spell Power feat: +10% damage to a specific type, +5% universal spell critical damage (which is also added to the specific type, for a total of +15% damage to a specific type.)
 * Old Legendary Spell Power Feat: +25% damage to a specific type, +10% all other types.
