Subject: [PATCH] Rebalances Yautja bracer power (#4154)

# About the pull request
The bracer power supply has been rebalanced, reducing the cost of
creating crystals and health capsules due to scarcity of recharging, and
the fact thwei is no longer as powerful. The plasma caster has also had
its power costs reduced slightly.
