Dagger Throwing Harmonization

A dumb little mod I did because I found it a bit weird that throwing daggers skills scaled on your current weapon and required to have daggers equipped, as if you were throwing your current dagger, or duplicating your current dagger and throwing copies of it with Fan of Knives. I also found it strange that Searing Daggers were a purely elemental skill, given its flavor.

The mod's changes:
- I removed the scaling and prerequisites of Throwing Knife and Fan of Knives, and made the damage indexed on the character level instead, still scaling on Finesse, and I increased the damage multiplier a bit to compensate for the fact it can't backstab anymore (because non-dagger skills can't backstab :() and for the loss of weapon advantages.
- I made Searing Daggers into a skill dealing physical damage scaling on Finesse, with the previous damage (still scaling on Intelligence) occurring on an explosion that happens if the daggers hit a target.

In terms of balance the dagger throwing skills should be an interesting option for Finesse characters that don't use very powerful weapons for some reason. From the top of the head I can think of the Dagger+Shield Scoundrel who can benefit from it, but it also makes the skill available Spear and Bow users, so maybe they'll find some uses. Searing Daggers should be an interesting option for both fire mages and finesse physical characters. I realise it's quite a power up for that skill essentially on lower levels, but it was always quite underwhelming in terms of damage, and the physical / magic split makes it far less impactful than a straight damage increase, so it should be fine.

As for compatibility, it should be compatible with anything that doesn't change those skills directly. It can be used with my Unlocked Scoundrel mod if you want to get the other advantages of Unlocked Scoundrel and the throwing knives of this mod, you just need to load this mod after the Unlocked Scoundrel one. Have fun! It can also be used with my Unpopular Skills Rework mod, by using the same precaution.
