Spellsword Class

Description
This adds the spellsword class, which is a swordsman that channels elemental magic into attacks. Abilities are mostly weapon and magic based. Abilities will work with any bladed weapon, but sword is a class skill and there's a special passive that only works with a sword equipped. This class is -largely- balanced with other in-game classes.

Specs:
+Stats: PhysAtk, MagAtk, PhysDef, MagDef +1
+Skills: Sword, Fire, Ice, Elec, Wind +1
+Upgradeable stats: HP, MP, Sword, Fire, Ice, Elec, Wind
+Class requirements: Sorcerer 350xp, Blade 250xp

Abilities:
-Fire Slash: A fire attack with greatsword AoE that burns
-Ice Strike: An ice line attack that chills
-Thunder Thrust: A heavy-hitting lightning attack that stuns
-Force Lunge: A lunging wind attack that pushes
-Tidal Blade: A water AoE that does damage, inflicts wet, and creates puddles

Passives:
-Spellsword: Grants MagAtk based on 1/2 of sword skill;requires a sword
-Volatile Energies: Grants +2 Fire, Ice, Elec, and Wind skill, but costs -1 MagDef, and -5 MagEva
-Empowerment: Increases duration on positive elemental effects by 50%


v1.1
-Reduced 500 elementalist xp requirement to 350 sorcerer xp
-Fireslash is affected by weapon accuracy (like Thunder Thrust and Force Lunge)
-Fireslash and Thunder Thrust are now affected by weapon effects
-Fireslash, Ice Strike, and Thunder Thrust do more magic damage
-Fireslash's burn starts with 30 duration and ranks up to a max of 60 (now unaffected by Fire skill)

v1.2
-Volatile Energies now penalizes magic defenses instead of physical defenses (-1 MagDef, -5 MagEva).

Note that the elemental skill bonuses already reduce magic damage from those elements by 2, so the -1 MagDef only partially offsets that bonus.

Considering the requirements for this it is actually feeling underpowered at least in lategame.

Currently using a spellsword/blade combo with ironice greatsword and the spellsword feels like the less useful class. In particular the spellsword skills do not benefit from augments and imbues while the blade's Shockwave is a ranged attack that does get these things
