Ember Mania

Today's update focuses a lot on how Ember drops work. Basically, it is a lot easier to get high level Embers later in the game. No more seeing 20 Dull Embers sitting on the ground beyond the gates of despair. This update will shorten play time, but I'd rather have the game be shorter and more fun. Hopefully it also lets you experiment more, as its not so difficult to upgrade random pieces of equipment.
