HUD Tweaks

Today's patch includes a few more HUD changes, including continued tweaks to the font and colors.

They've increased the size of the ally frames on the right side but the small box behind them hasn't been adjusted yet.

The "Not enough mana" indicator is now a brighter blue to differentiate between the dark blue of "on CD".

Balance Changes

* Remember *: The PBE is a testing grounds for new, tentative, and sometimes radical changes. The changes you see below may be lacking context or other accompanying changes that didn't make it in - don't freak out! These are not official notes.
