RWoM v2.6.3.0 update

New:
Note: both new classes demonstrate methods of using any hediff or need as a resource for abilities
o Empath Class - an unique magic class that manipulates emotional (mood/joy) energy to fuel their abilities; there is no 'book' to learn to become an empath - it can only be acquired naturally
Abilities:
- Empathy: controls the innate empathic skill to raise spirits
- Mind Killer: floods all nearby pawns with stored emotions that opens a variety of reactions due to the emotional stress
- Suppressive Aura: blocks or filters the emotions (good and bad) of nearby pawns at the cost of emotional stress on the empath; prevents mental breaks of suppressed pawns
- Harvest Passion: attempts to overcome the will of a target and steal their work passions; requires an inspiration
- Incite Passion: transfers a work passions from the empath to a selected target

o Apothecary Class - dedicated to the creation of tonics, tinctures, potions and remedies; the apothecary class creates several useful solutions using natural ingredients found in every-day harvesting work.
Abilities:
- Herbalist: governs the skill of the apothecary; improves ingredient discovery, preservation and efficiency
- Elixir: creates a fast acting tonic that speeds wound recovery, fights diseases and infections, and even reduces signs of scars and aging. Side effects may include...
- Soothing Balm: a mixture of ingredients that can be applied to open wounds to immediately treat them; the salve also reduces overall pain and prevents infections. In large doses, soothing balm may be used as an anesthetic
- Poison Flask: throw a vial of noxious ingredients that expands into a cloud when it shatters, causing damage to the lungs and throat of anyone that breaths the fumes

The Apothecary is considered a 'fighter' class and the Empath a 'mage' class, but they are only weakly attuned to their respective fields; training can improve these skills somewhat

Tweaks:
o Custom class marker will now use the colonist bar mark if classTexturePath is left blank
o Magical Aura's and undead will trigger the "witnessed magic" ideology requirement

Bug fixes:
o Living wall skill levels correctly save
o Shard of extraction correctly removes the Death Knight class
o Enchanted Body skills correctly apply to Enchanted Aura

- Mecha Golem: a combination of mechanical engineering and magic that can be constructed from steel and components
- Flesh Golem: an abomination formed from human flesh and animated with magic

o New Class: Golemancer - the golemancer derives its power from the strain of magic that enables the melding of magic into an object through the use of engravings, runes, sigils, and tattoos to create semi-permanent magical effects
- Abilities:
o Golemancy - specifically focused on the enhancement and symbiotic connection with a golem
o Rune Carving - combining the carving of runes with material catalysts allows for the permanent enhancement of any type of natural or artificial limb
o Branding - a semi-permanent link between the target and the caster that converts a trickle of magical energy into beneficial effects
o Surge - overloads the casters connection to a branded target to increases the effects of all brands maintained by the caster by 5x, causes the caster pain
o Drain - applies the effects of a brand on the caster instead of the target, causes pain in the targets
* Surge and Drain can be used in combination
