GCM2 v1.1.14 - Balance Patch

We're continuing to bring the magic abilities into line with the rest of the class tree by lengthening cooldowns and cast times generally. Where some of the abilities needed a boost, we've increased damage or spell durations.

We've also opened up some hopefully new and interesting routes in the class tree by switching a few secondary options at critical points along the journey.
