Row restriction warnings now trigger correctly on mobile devices, for each card played after the first on each turn.
Grace abilities now trigger immediately when a unit that met the requirements while Locked is Purified.
Stockpile no longer reduces the Cooldowns of Locked units.
Bronwen, Reynard, and Windhalm are no longer able to use their Order abilities before the Grace requirement is met.
