Elemental Disciples - Life: Herbalist

Adds the Herbalist, an alternative to the Sage who can heal, buff, and debuff enemies through the application of 2 new status effects: Balm and Bane.

Feedback is appreciated, here or (preferably) on discord.

The Herbalist relies on spreading two opposing statuses:
"Balm" for allies and "Bane" for enemies.
Both are:

• applied for (typically) 40 duration
  
• lower the target's Phys and MagDef by -2
  
• removed by Ruin, Water, Wet, Oil, and Dispel
  
• procced by Life and Cure
  
• remove Regen
  
• [Modder Note:] Both determine their healing/damage based on the TARGET's skill in Life (among other things) because they are status effects and their action is not procced by original actor who placed the status effect.

On proc: delivers a small heal, applies Regen, applies a random status buff.
There is a 12.5% chance to get either:
negate, aegis, preserve, invisible, ice carapace, warmth, guard, or NOTHING!

On proc: delivers low(ish) damage and applies a random debuff (similar to the Ranger class).

• MP cost: 20
  
• Charge time: 12
  
• Cooldown: 60 & starts battle on cooldown
  
• Notes: needs to be planned for due to the high MP cost (which can be mitigated with the Herbalist's own "Medicinal Mana" passive), the fact that it starts on a cooldown, and the fact that it will cripple the caster.

Passives

• Final Flourish: On death in a 5x5 area: Heal allies, proc & apply Balm. Apply (but not proc) Bane to enemies.
  
• Medicinal Mana: Start Combat with Balm and Balm recovers 30% Max MP.
  
• Counter Bane: Counter: When hit by melee, self apply Balm and apply Bane to attacker. Small chance of Balm Puddles on empty tiles.

The purpose of this class was to focus on the Life element to create a viable healer that could also be effective in combat, while simultaneously avoiding the tropes making a paladin or holy warrior. The Herbalist stems naturally from the theme of Life and plants and mystic balms and lotions.

As with my other class, the Frost Kissed (Elemental Disciples - Ice), the idea is to prove your devotion to the element, and so you need to have a Life skill of 4 in order to unlock the class.
