- Fixed 3rd word of Disarm, now properly disarm enemies behind you.
- Fixed Dragonrend and Soul Tear cooldown.

- Added scaling to Soul Tear Reanimate.

- Fixed Dismay, now works as intended (it had no effect on undead); Visual update, same explosion as Kyne's Peace added.
- Changed again how Disarm works. First two words are reverted to vanilla, third word now have an AoE effect. Reasons are that Combat Hit Spells can't benefit from scaling perk and I'm really sad for this. Really.
