The buff applied from being in a Buddhist Conversion and Nehan Conversion now have buff indicators.

The Conversion ability has been renamed to Buddhist Conversion and the description has been updated to properly indicate that nearby allies gain +20% damage for 20 seconds when Buddhist Conversion is cast.

Buddhist Monks will no longer leave their Stand Ground state when casting Sohei’s Sutra.

Corrected issue where Sohei’s Sutra would be cast on enemy naval units, breaking its animations.
