- Fixed a bug causing Staff of Fireball not to get benefit from range mastery

--- Balances ---

Spells:
- Wind Walk (Invisibility) now has a speed boost (half the speed boost of Wind Walk (Charge)).

- Homing 'instant AoE damage' has been removed
- Homing AoE on self collision has been slightly improved

Items:

--- Miscellaneous ---

- Reverted many icons. This is an attempt to remove all .blp JPEG palettes to make Warlock compatible with Mac. (The Mac compability project is not finished. We need some Mac user testers)

Bloodline Champions is not the official stand-alone version of Warlock.

Warlock will have its own stand-alone game, being developed for Swedish Game Awards 2010 by 'Indiewedual Games'.
The Warlock stand-alone (so far named 'Warlocks') will be more faithful to the original Warlock concept, involving spells of own choice, lava and knockback.

Zymoran and Demestotenes are both crew members of Indiewedual Games.
