Into the Fray: DRK Skill Overhaul

Thanks to ocealot for the intuitive vfxeditor with which these mods would not be possible. Special thanks to Maulclaw whose video inspired me to create my own animation swaps and saved me the trouble of doing the animation swaps for hard slash and syphon strike. Thanks to the modding community in general.

The mod changes some of the skill animations and effects that I felt were quite lacking in their original form. With the revelation that I could change animations as well, I've changed some animations with the old skill animations that I felt were cooler. I have also made revisions to the sound effects for skills that I felt lacked impact. This is a list of skills that were changed:

Hard Slash - HardDeliriumSlash
Syphon Strike - SyphonScourge
SoulEater (vfx)
Delirium - DarkDelirium
Bloodspiller (vfx)
Unleash (vfx)
Quietus (sound effect)
Edge of Shadow (vfx)
Flood of Shadow - FloodofShadowbringer
Shadowbringer - ShadowPassenger
Dark Mind - DarkShadowskin
Abyssal Drain (vfx)
Salted Earth (vfx)
Carve and Spit (vfx)

Things to note:

Maulclaw has mentioned that the animation swaps may not work 100% on lalafells, male roegadyn, and hrothgar. I have not tested the mod on these races so this may still be the case.
