Fixed an issue where the camera in third-person view could become detached briefly when using movement abilities, such as Bolt Escape.
Fixed an issue where the animations from charge abilities (Shield Charge, Critical Charge, etc.) would not properly play if you sheathed your weapon immediately after casting them.
