Bux Fixes

Using an energy draining skill like Energy Shot or Soul Siphon against a target with Gamma Brand applied would cause the entire duel to crash which might appear like a lag spike or disconnect. Using these attacks on a target with Gamma Brand will now work, but won't crit because energy pool attacks cannot crit. This is because energy pool attacks inherently ignore defenses so a critical hit would have no defenses to ignore, forcing the battle engine to freeze since it's looking for information that is not provided.
