Patch Notes V0.016 Skill Tree and Weapon Update

This update took a bit of time to complete but it's finally done. Getting the skill tree to work like how I wanted took some time to figure out. Had to ask a few friends for assistance and consult with an AI to get it just right. Still a few things to edit but it's all functional. With this update, STARTING A NEW GAME WILL BE REQUIRED, Shouldn't need to make another new game after this one for awhile, I hope. There's no plans to add anything that would require that at least. 

If you didn't know yet, between this update and the last I released the game on Steam for free. https://store.steampowered.com/app/3654130/Levania/ It has the windows version of the game. 

So if you haven't played since the last update, there's a lot that's changed.

Major Changes:

- Added a visual skill trees and adjusted some of the skills dependencies.

- Overhauled the design of the SeaSide Mine area. 

- I just realized the Boost Action plugin was boosting all damage by 3x + 30, it's now reduced to 1.0x + 0. It was also boosting some skills that give buffs with an extra 3 turns, that's been removed.

- Removed Boost actions and related items/skills. (It just doesn't fit the game anymore)

- Removed VisuStella's Skill Learn System.

- Now only 4 Starting TP modes to choose from, with the rest needing to be bought from a new merchant you can encounter first in the Nexus Forest. Several TP modes have had changes to them to either buff/nerf them to try and make them more balanced depending on what you want.

- Changed the name of almost all natures, changed the percent gain/loss from 2% -> 4% except for luck which got 8%, reduced the amount to choose, and added flavor text to them.

- All weapons have had their damage lowered and all weapons are now upgradable to Tier V. Now, Tier I - II can be crafted at an anvil and Tier III - V are craftable with a blacksmith.
