This patch is a pretty nice one with changes and improvements that fit both the suggestions from the Community and my vision for the game. I think you'll like it :)

Important changes
- Now the Obelisk will activate automatically once the Infusion threshold is reached. A Unique Artefact will drop, or 30% of the accumulated Engrams if there are no more Unique Artefacts left in the Obelisk

- Dashing now allows the player to go through monsters, in addition to projectiles
- Rerolling Artefacts now costs 30 engrams (was 10)
- Healing totem now heals 10 HP for 5 Engrams (was 5 HP for 1 Engram)
Artefact changes and balancing
- Solar Blade: projectiles now deal 20 damage, and create a burning explosion on impact that apply Burn effect for 3 seconds. In addition, a yellow filter is applied on the energy blade and piercing dash of the player
- Keya's Mask: Now the burning explosion triggered by a crit damage will spawn at the enemy's position instead of the player's position. In addition, killing a burning enemy will trigger a burning explosion, which can lead to powerful chain reactions!

- Third Eye: Memory Crystals now grant 5 engrams instead of 10
- Shoulder Cannon: stacks will now improve the bullet damage instead of cooldown
