Bibliomancy Skill

Description
Adds the Bibiliomancy skill tree, a wizard support skill. Does not require any DLC.

Level 0: Read Thesaurus
"The first step to transforming into an amazing author is having a voluminous vocabulary! Reading up on synonyms will make your spells more effective and powerful."
+1 Existential Resist
Spell: “Read Thesaurus”
Buff that costs 1 mana per 6 turns and adds +5 Savvy, +4 Magic Power and +4 Haywire. Also gives all other Bibliomancy spells extra effects, but has a chance of triggering a hefty debuff when you use them.

Level 1: Purple Prose
"In order be taken even slightly seriously as an aspiring wordsmith, which incidentally is exactly your goal, you have to make sure to ramble on as much as is humanly possible for an adventurer such as yourself. This has the wonderfully useful side effect of making anyone within hearing fall fast asleep from sheer boredom."
+1 Existential Resist
Spell: “Purple Prose”
-Spell that puts enemies to sleep around the player. Has additional chance of sleep and knockback while the “Read Thesaurus” buff is active.

Level 2: Create Character
"Every fanfi... er, story needs characters! Yours are the absolute best ever oh my goodness."
+1 Existential Resist
Spell: “Create Character”
-Lets you summon the “Mary Sue” pet. When the “Read Thesaurus” buff is active, it summons the more powerful “Indigo” pet instead.

Level 3: Plot Hole
"Even the best writers make mistakes. Plot is hard! Sometimes, stuff just doesnt make sense. Holes in the story, if you will. In your case, this happens to be a literal black hole that damages and teleports your enemies."
+1 Existential Resist
Spell: “Plot Hole”
-Deals existential damage and blinks enemies in the targeted area. Also gives them an existential dot that lasts a few turns if you have the “Read Thesaurus” buff active.

Level 4: Worldbuilding
"Fleshing out your setting is sure to make your book more interesting! It'll make your dungeoneering more interesting, too."
+1 Existential Resist
Spell: “Worldbuilding”
-Creates 4 walls around the targeted area. Also digs walls around them while the “Read Thesaurus” buff is active.

Level 5: Deus Ex Machina
"Backed yourself into a corner? Surrounded by enemies with no hope of saving yourself? No worries; this spell will get you out of any jam."
+1 Existential Resist
Spell: “Deus Ex Machina”
-Deals existential damage to enemies around the player, then teleports the player to the targeted square. Also deals an existential dot to the enemies while the buff is active.
