📋 About This Mod
Unlocks all Specialization from the 4 core skills regardless of trait and/or buff.
Also unlocks Red Talon skills and Heartland exclusive skills.
Wits and Fighting have too many Skills. Some are probably displayed off screen. It should be Tactics and Swordplay.
But it may be shuffled because of the traits. On rare occasions some skills may not be available because a trait has
blacklisted it.

4 Core Specialization V
Same as 4 Core Specialization but the 5th Skill defaults to a dummy skill which you can specialize into the Base 5th Core Skills
Since Specializations cannot be specialized. I opt to fused the Specialization of the 5th Core Skills.

3 Stars - Gives you the base buffs of the both the Specialization of the 5th Core Skill
7 Stars - Gives you all the buffs provided by the 5th Core Skill and it's specializations
