🌳 Tree of Ascension

• Finishing Technique: low-health damage bonus 20% → 10%; Crushing Swing: proc damage bonus 20% → 10%
• Perfect Form: missed-attack reroll chance 20% → 10%; Defender’s Precision: accuracy bonus 10% → 5% (10% defence ignore unchanged)

  :pepedance: The Rest

• Helpful Spirit supplies now appear for every ToA member after two paths and all four; Thread of Elidinis was added to the reward table
• Nightmare cannot die during shield phases, pillars only take damage while active, the final phase starts correctly and its recent teleport works
