Hey, everyone.

Just fixed a problem that could happen very rarely. Some player, after a crash on startup (even a power failure) had a config file corrupted that was preventing the game to boot properly.
Now it's fixed.
Also, one document (79) seemed to spawn too infrequently. This is fixed as well.

Since this build was going out midweek to remove the Candy Competition, there wasn't a lot of time to iterate, but I've made some targeted changes to gameplay around leveled-up minions and the minion upgrades.

Gameplay Changes:
-XP requirements to reach level 4 and 5 have been reduced.
-Expertise has been removed from the game.
-Now Leveled up minions automatically get an "expert" version of their ability, allowing for more freedom in minion customization (rather than just always taking expertise).
-For many abilities, this works just as it did w expertise.
-Summoning abilities now summon two minions if there's space.
-Magic damage/Poison abilities trigger TWICE when on an upgraded minion, so each trigger gets to apply Magic Power/Poison Power, rather than doubling the base value and then adding MP/PP (which is how the game worked in the past).
-Reinfreshment's ability all

Content Changes: -The Conductive Bolts and Apprentice Training upgrades now have the Support keyword, so minions with that upgrade can still help from the bench
-Nerves of steel is now "Reduce any damage dealt to this minion by 1.", rather than preventing damages of exactly 1 popping shields.
-Energy Echoer no longer has Matter Displacer guaranteed.

Bug Fixes: #213 - bug
base stein with expertise enchantment in bench only gives +1 additional poison
#209 - bug
expertise doesn't seem to work on harvest huntsman
#211 - bug
"Nerves of Steel" doesn't function if you recycle the parent Fresh Recruit and give the relic to another minion w/ Shielded.
#209 - bug
expertise doesn't seem to work on harvest huntsman
#208 - bug
Seems like "Call the End" is only dealing 30 damage, despite the spellcard stating "Deals 40 Magic damage to all enemies"
Minor Fixes:
#207 - bug
Twisted Apparition's tooltip doesn't update to reflect the Magic Power bonus.
#204 - bug
Support minions are still not giving Mag Power buffs from the bench while in combat. (tested with 2 Ensouled statues) Just stating again because labels it as fixed.
#203 - bug
Not sure if this is intentional, but Expertise on Soul Sapper only makes its effect deal +1 additional magic damage, rather than doubling the effect.
#199 - bug
expertise cannot be played on energy echoer
#192 - bug
apprentice empowerment seems to be disabling, not improving the potency of my minions in storage. I get the bonus magic damage in the shop sceen but the number goes down in battle
Not a bug:
Could Not repro:#215 - bug
wispy parts seemed to not work when i tried it
