----Optimizations and Bugs Fixed----

2. Fixed issue where the damage dealt with targets with Isolation could still be shared.
3. Fixed issue where the effect of the Soul Fortune Cat could be triggered by some battle actions when it wasn't supposed to.
4. Fixed an issue that caused the effect of the Soul Scarlet to be triggered when a Shikigami equipped with the Soul set is revived by Hiyoribou after being KO'd by a multi-strike attack.
5. Improved Kagura's Summon: Afterlife. A Shikigami affected by the skill can now become a ghost normally when KO'd by reflected damage from the effect of the Soul Mirror Lady.
