Version 0.2.0

This version is focused around quality of life changes, bug fixes, and balance changes. Note: A change was made to how masteries are stored, making them more future proof, but sadly this has resulted in some existing masteries being downgraded in rarity.

New Features:

• You can now die from old age. You will become 'Ancient' when less than 20 years from the end of your lifespan, and take a 10% stat penalty. When 10 years away you will be 'Dying' and gain a 30% stat penalty. Then, if you exceed your lifespan, you will permanently die.
  
• The Forge Spirit and Needle Fairy now sell less crafting actions, and Pi Lip has decided to start selling some of his own. His stock will be available in the Body Forging realm and beyond.
• You can now buy crafting pills that buff Control and Intensity, available from the Sect and other locations.
• Enhancement Dust is now available to buy in various stores, for a significant price.
