This is an edit of the abi_base.gda file, and may conflict with any other mod editing the same talents via that file.
GDApp can be used to combine files and eliminate conflicts.

A debt of gratitude to the mod 'Holy Smite and Mana Clash No Crash' (which is no longer available), which is the blueprint for this and my personal 'PAR'-type mods.
Thank you to Alehazar for the detailed playtest feedback! While the mod files are identical the alpha, I now consider this to be a version 1.0 release.
