Asra's Katana

I found the vanilla Solus Katana pretty boring, considering that Asra's got a lot of attacks and we only get to use the Kunai Blast. So I decided to fix this.

This mod reworks Solus Katana to be a randomly-generated weapon, with each individual Katana sporting one of the four randomly assigned alt abilities, custom swooshes, custom active and inactive idle stances, 25% damage reduction while active, a 9-hit combo that becomes 12-hit once upgraded at the Upgrade Anvil... but now consuming 10 energy per second, along with 5 energy per hit.

Alt abilities:
- Solus Slash: a reworked Blink Slash with the swoosh taken from Asra's spritesheet.
- Energy Beam: a custom ability that consumes a lot of energy and freezes you in place in exchange for tremendous damage in a straight line in front of you.
- Solus Dash: a reworked Trail Dash, usable both on ground and in the air. The invincibility effect has Solus Shield visuals, much like Asra during her attack phase.
- Kunai Blast: reworked with more projectiles, fired in a formation similar to Asra's. Each individual Kunai's explosion force had to be toned down a bit, as during testing it was destroying blocks when fired directly on the ground.

Compatibility:
- Project Blade Dance - compatible, but swooshes can behave strangely.
- FU - Shouldn't conflict, assuming it doesn't modify the original Solus Katana.

6/28/2022 - cleaned up the description a bit, made it more obvious that each indivial Katana can have a maximum of one ability. Should probably have done that years ago though.
