Balance Changes

• Reworked a number of effects to reduce individual trigger counts:

  • Updated Stone Garden Sigil talisman to give its effects after the technique instead of immediately.

• Reworked some of the Cascade Invoker mechanics.

• Isolated Spaceis now removed AFTER other end-of-round effects. Tooltip also updated to clarify it doesn't apply to true damage.
