Patch #13 Mouse/Keyboard only controls, tome rework

Controls options

It is now possible to play He is Coming with new controls, "Mouse only", "Keyboard only" as well as "Mouse + Keyboard" which has been the default and only option until now. Feedback on these controls is greatly appreciated, let us know what you like and dislike about it and we'll adjust it to be more intuitive if needed.

Tome rework

We've seen feedback that tomes feels weak and bad to use. Our vision for them was to be an effect that triggers later in the game but has potential to swing the match, not an ongoing value engine like the plethora of "Turn Start" items already in the game. So we've increased the countdowns and made the effects more powerful. With this change we also shifted all tomes to rare rarity and made a new rare event where you can choose 1 of the 3 arcane items to enhance your tomes.

Not many balance changes apart from the tomes this time around, for next time we'll take a look at underperforming items and see which ones need a little boost.
