Implemented ModCompat

This refers to compatibility that's included just with this mod, and will not be an exhaustive list of every mod that implements this.

• BetterUI ⚡

To-Do/Issues

• Mithrix Scepter
• CaptainBustedAirstrike support:
  • Currently it uses the reduced cooldown from the standard alt airstrike.
• Further improvements to scepters(?)
• Transformation Notification shows before the pickup notification for the subsequent Scepter

For Devs

• Adding a ScepterReplacer to a character that already has an existing ScepterReplacer for that slot and variant will replace it.
  • This change allows developers that modify or outright change existing skills to have their own Scepter skill for existing characters.
• All icons for Scepter Skills in this mod are now publicly accessible. See the static class Assets.SpriteAssets.
