Solus Katana V0X - Solus Katana Upgrades

Description
# Solus Katana V0X - Solus Katana Upgrades

Adds Solus Katana upgrade recipes to the Separator addon of the Replicator that turns Asra Nox's sword into the katana it was meant to be.

The upgrades are just JSON modifications of the original Solus Katana that changes its melee combo. Hence, they should be compatible with any mod that doesn't touch the vanilla Solus Katana. They should also be able to be used in multiplayer.

To obtain them, I recommend using `/admin` to craft them for free. Alternatively they can be crafted in Treasured Trophies

## Solus Katana V0
An upgrade that makes the katana wieldable with one hand and gives it a fast, spammable, long-reach 2-hit combo that can hit multiple times in one strike.

## Solus Katana VX
An upgrade that gives the katana a fast, spammable, long-reach 3-hit combo and alters its special ability. Instead of shooting out exploding kunai, the katana can now be charged for 5 seconds before dealing an absurd amount of damage. Cooldown is 10 seconds.

## Solus Katana VX Lite
The one-handed version of the Solus Katana VX that deals higher combo damage.

Thanks to:
- c00lway for code snippets from the Ancient Master's Sword custom JSON weapon
- derpfernrier for code snippets from the Mana Sword custom JSON weapon
- ribs351 for code snippets from the Real Protector's Broadsword custom JSON weapon
- Swooce and the dudes in the Starbound discord for helping me get the gist of JSON modding

## Changelog:
### v1.0.2
- Added crafting recipes to Treasured Trophies because apparently you can't craft them while not in Admin mode, and they are just custom JSON weapons so I need to make them new items so that they can be craftable. Anyone have a solution to this? Much appreciated.
- Moved crafting recipes to tier 1 crafting anvil. (Can only be crafted there in Admin mode; see above point)
### v1.0.1
- Overhauled animations. V0 now has a spammable 2-hit combo.
- Added two new upgrade recipes to the Solus Katana, one one-handed and one two-handed. Both can deal higher damage and have a 3-hit combo. Two-handed variant's ability is a devastating charged draw slash.
### v1.0.0
- Added an upgrade recipe for the Solus Katana that replaces the combo with a quick spammable horizontal slash.

Memories broken
The truth goes unspoken
I’ve even forgotten my name

I don’t know the season
Or what is the reason
I’m standing here holding my blade

A desolate place
Without any trace
It’s only the cold wind I feel

It’s me that I spite
As I stand up and fight
The only thing I know for real

There will be bloodshed
The man in the mirror nods his head

The only one left
Will ride upon the dragon’s back

Because the mountains don’t give back what they take
Oh no
There will be bloodshed
It’s the only thing I’ve ever known

Losing my identity
Wondering have I gone insane
To find the truth in front of me
I must climb this mountain range
Looking downward from this deadly height
And never realizing why I fight

@NRanvier13 You can't just spawn them in; they're vanilla Solus Katanas with modified parameters, like the ones here:

Rather, you craft them at the tier 3 separator anvil (only if you're in admin mode), or at Treasured Trophies.

Which katana mods cause problems? This is just a custom JSON mod that essentially gives you a vanilla Solus Katana with its parameters modified to have a new combo, ability and blade color. If you could tell me the katana mods that cause problems, I can look into it and possibly come up with a fix.

Only katanas added as mods cause problems. Normal katanas appear fine.
