Its properties are now ChargedName (base display name when it has usa[ble charge), UnchargedName (base display name when it doesn't have usable charge), ChargedPenetrationBonus (penetration bonus when charged), UnchargedPenetrationBonus (same, uncharged), ChargedDamage (base damage roll when charged), UnchargedDamage (same, uncharged), ChargedSkill (proficiency skill when charged), and UnchargedSkill (same, uncharged). It's also now an IPoweredPart and has all of that part's properties. Its defaults that differ from IPoweredPart base are ChargeUse = 10 and WorksOnSelf = true.
[modding] The BleedingOnHit part has been rewritten. Its properties are now Amount (the roll for the amount of bleeding inflicted, defaults to "1d2"), SaveTarget (the target of the save, defaults to 20), RequireDamageAttribute (if given, bleeding will only be inflicted if the damage being done has this attribute, defaults to null), SelfOnly (whether bleeding infliction only applies to attacks performed with the object, defaults to true), and Stack (whether the bleeding inflicted stacks, defaults to false).

An empty string means no automatic mixing is done. If a cell's GroundLiquid is null, it defaults to its zone's value.
