What Does This PR Do
The lightning spellblade will knock down for 4 seconds on wizard spellblades when zapping someone, and 2 on miner. This is not a stun like when it was originally added.
The forcewall spellblade wizard version, can buff itself every 2 seconds instead of 4, to make uptime easier for wizards, without being too easy for the miner version.
Adds a new spellblade enchantment.
This spellblade halfs the base spellblade damage (from 25 to 12.5), but doubles it's attack speed. Each slash applies a stacking debuff, which lasts 3 seconds till the slashes stop.
Once they have not been stabbed for 3 seconds, the target takes a 20 damage (10 damage for miner) temporal slash every 0.25 seconds for each slash dealt to them (hit someone 5 times, they get slashed 5 times).
The temporal slashes also will do extra damage to megafauna, to make it a little bit more useful for miners, though note that it doesn't provide any damage resistance unlike a crusher, and you have to kill bubblegum for it.
Why It's Good For The Game
Lightning needs the umf back it lost, without being a stun.
Better uptime for forcewall is good.
A cool spellblade enchantment that is the best for direct damage, without being flashy in ways that lead to security frustration (Bluespace knockdown from range, forcewalls making batons and disablers useless), will provide a more flashy wizard option, if they want to be a bit silly with cool dramatic slashes, and fill out the pool for miners, giving them a spellblade that might actually work well on lavaland, without being something sec will want to suffer again.
