fixed: game ending initiated even if losing the last levelfixed: combining when not enough mana caused the dragged gem to be floating unselectablyadded restart button to the defeat panelfixed: shift + spell shotcut keys still didn't work

Changes in v.1.01:(if you see v. 1.0 in the bottom right corner of the main menu, refresh the page)

-Creating as much gems as possible with ctrl is back-Combining as much gems as possible with ctrl is back-Shift + keypress works (previously shift worked only when selecting spells with the mouse)-Towers always shoot at the closest monster to the wiztower, acquiring a new target before each shot (previously they selected their target by simply rolling through the list of monsters and stopping at the first monster found to be in range, then locked on to it until it was destroyed or run out of range)-Decreased difficulty for some of the levels-Disabled forcing the gem back to its initial position when dragged out of the screen. This introduced a bug, which is hopefully less annoying: if you release the gem outside the screen, the game will belive that you're still dragging it. (Flash Player 9 and 10 doesn't detect releasing the mouse when out of its area. If the folks at Adobe would fix it, the error will disappear from the game as well.)-Speed up button info panel text fixed
