Hypermancer [0.0.11] Release notes!

Been working this month on big pillars of turn based combat. With everything I learned from Dawn of Corruption, I'm introducing a similar blend of abilities to Hypermancer with 3 prototype enemies.

Just like DoC, I'm adding triggers based on game events that all abilities can use for their mechanics.

Had a ton of fun adding the new parry too. Huge thanks to DieselSaurus for cooking up a really nice SFX for them <3
