Capacitor now triggers before Shark attack damage, which will counter Bubble Breaking the shark
Capacitor now triggers on any client, not just the one who casted it -- aka if 2 wizards capacitor'd each other and walked into each other, both capacitors would go off 100% of the time

Spells will no longer disappear when they hit own wizard (with the exception of return spells like boomerang or leech)

Sunder: increased hit box radius 1 -> 1.35
Relapse: made status particles even more obvious
Vanguard: if wizard was moving when it was casted, it would sometimes end up anchored to the player wrong on other clients; this is now fixed
