For FE: Put skills database into XML format (and effects tie)
from
Elemental Forums
As skills become more dominant in FE, it will be important for modders to have the ability to generate their own skills, tie animations/effects to them, and to include those as procs on weapons/armor. For instance, fire breath, ice breath, thrown weapons, wall crushing, etc. all should be moddable as effects through XML, rather than hard coded skills.
Thanks!
