Saltzpyre should no longer get stuck in aiming (third-person) after shooting with the crossbow.
Fixed an issue where Sienna would remain fully slowed despite having vented to below the threshold.
Fixed an issue where the Trollhammer Torpedo showing the ammunition when out of ammo.
Fixed a minor animation issue on Kerillian's Greatsword where transitioning from light attack hit to heavy charge would cause a frame flickering.
Fixed a minor animation issue with Engineer's piston during reload of Trollhammer Torpedo.
Fixed a super minor issue where changing Staff whilst in the air would cause the Staff to glide/animate weirdly.
Fixed a minor animation issue where a nocked Arrow could become misaligned with a bow.
Fixed an animation bug where Kerillian got stuck aiming with her bows (third-person) if shooting too fast.

Fixed some Shade items which were presented incorrectly in Lohner's Emporium of Wonders.
