Notes on key/value pairs

• shortName is the hero's name with periods, dashes, apostrophes, spaces, and capitalization removed; it is currently used as the name of a hero's JSON file and image
• manaCost is a string due to several Heroes (Azmodan, Arthas, etc.) having channeled abilities with per-second mana costs
• abilityId can be used to link a talent to its related ability.
  • Talents that create a new ability will have abilityId of HeroName|Active. Ex: Fear the Reaper (seen above), Bolt of the Storm
  • Talents granting changes to Basic Attacks or other passive effects will have abilityId of HeroName|Passive. Ex: On a Pale Horse (above), Burning Rage, Executioner
• talentTreeId is the name of the talent as used in replay files
• sort indicates the order of talents on that level/tier
• icon is the image name for the talent from game files
