Looking through the TL2 Beta assets (which I finally managed to hunt down), I discovered that Ordrak's
original TL1 skills actually
were ported to vanilla TL2...but were removed from the game sometime between then and the current TL2 release (1.25.x.5b).
As these skills are both ported TL1 features and cut features from early TL2, I am integrating them into the
Lazarus Pack.
