virtuNat's Abnormality Balance Rework (EN Test)

Description
Disclaimers:

This is a public unstable test version of the mod. I've decided to get the launch out of the way, as re-testing and proofreading the 200+ constituent effects is an unreasonable ask for one person with the limited free time I have. Be warned as bugs and text inconsistencies are more than likely to happen at this stage.

This mod is not designed to work with Nexus BaseMod or BongBongEnterprises. Using these mods and mods that depend on them is likely to cause conflicts with this mod, and may result in features not working, or the game not being able to run properly. If you're not running any mod that fulfills these conditions and are still experiencing problems from this mod specifically, try to provide information regarding what exactly is going wrong, or give the relevant snippet from the error log in Library of Ruina's LocalLow folder.

This mod is powered by Localization Manager, but you do not need to have the mod installed separately.

Additionally, I'm not a career artist, so don't expect particularly fancy new effects, sprites, or card artworks.

Overview:

Reworks Abnormality and E.G.O pages in an attempt to keep balance, synergy, opportunity cost, and flavor into consideration.

Since you and I are likely to disagree on balance and lore accuracy, a config file may be modified to tune the mod to your needs.

The config features:
- The option to disable individual Abnormality/E.G.O Page changes
- Options for disabling this mod for whole floors, or the entire set of Abnormality Pages or E.G.O pages outright
- The ability to make Synchronization music for this mod's Synchronizations be the Floor's Emotion Level 3 Theme instead of a Warning
- The option to override certain XML info of Abnormality pages changed by this mod

Translations are pending finalization of the EN description text before I can in good conscience enable them.

Instructions:

Subscribe to this mod, then launch the game with the Launch Option "LOR with Mods" enabled, then ensure that this mod is enabled by selecting it in the mod menu when the game loads. You'll know it's enabled if there is a tick mark next to the name.

There is an XML file located in AppData\LocalLow\Project Moon\LibraryOfRuina\ModConfigs\AbnoChangeUtil that will allow you to customize your settings for this mod. This file is generated when the game makes it to the the start menu for the first time, but a link to a download for a reference file is provided below.

Notes:

If you are moving to Steam from the Nexus mod or vice versa, do make sure that there are no duplicate copies of the mod in your Steam\steamapps\common\Library Of Ruina\LibraryOfRuina_Data\Mods directory or the Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\1256670 directory.

Extra Thanks to the following:
Kirchad and Macrosis for inspiring me to start doing projects like this
Saeko and Lahb Stah for assistance with testing and brainstorming
Cyaminthe and others in the PMC Discord for assistance with ideas and programming
And everyone else who wanted the original version of this dusty old thing to finally be modernized and properly ported
As well as Project Moon and our glorious Club President Kim Jihoon for the game

Not sure if this is an issue with the mod, but Laetitia's "Surprise Gift" doesn't seem to activate at all, or I don't understand how it works since I'm playing through the game for the first time, also with your mod. Is the "Giftee" effect an actually status effect that appears on the enemy? Because no such effect appears on the first enemy I clash with.

Oh, gotcha. I mean, still really nice to see it work now with Basemod!
Getting to be able to use other Basemod related mods with it is nice-

The issue that caused this to not work with Basemod for Workshop forever ago was something to do with the localization, otherwise I've done most of my recent testing with Basemod for Workshop active just in case.

BaseMod works with this now btw for some reason
Might be something to do with its new update that integrates BaseBridge

You can try disabling the EGO pages whose synchronizations you prefer using the Better Synchronizations mod for, but this mod has its own version of every Synchronization, along with one new one.

Is this compatible with the better synchronizations mod?

FINALLY, COMPLETLY REINSTA WITH ABNO TEXT FIXES, AND PROBLEM IS GONE. THANKS.
