Revamped Spellblade. Changed level range from 40-45 to 35-50 to hopefully see it drop more often. Gave it a chance to cast one of the tree beams from archmage to give it more thematic flavor and usefulness, changed the added damage types to match said beams. Removed APR because +2 is pointless, increased damage mods to 30% from 18%, and spellpower/magic slightly to compete with staves.

Command Staff talent available to NPCs, which will spawn with the most appropriate aspect selected.  (Significant buff to staff wielders)
Updated artifact staves to use the new flavor system.

tactical AI will take duration of detrimental effects into consideration when evaluating cures.

clean up debugging code

Fix bug in confirmation dialog.
Added cycle_time function (pseudo-cooldown) for auto-use check.
no_npc_use and allow_npc_use fields in object use_power/Use_talent definitions can be a function(obj, who).
Updated charm talent resolver.

Allows NPC's to use activatable objects by giving them special talents that serve as an interface for the AI.
Adds mod.class.interface.ActorObjectUse class (in mod.class.Actor)

When a usable object is added to an Actor inventory, the Actor may get a talent that can be activated to use the power.
This talent is similar to normal talents, but translates the object definition as needed for NPC use.
objects with a .use_power (most uniquely defined powers) are usable unless the .no_npc_use flag is set.
objects with a .use_simple field (mostly consumables) are not usable unless the .allow_npc_use flag is set or the .tactical field is defined.
objects with a .use_talent field (many charms and artifacts) are usable so long as the talent definition does not have the .no_npc_use flag set.
Energy use matches the object (based on standard action speed)
the new talent .on_pre_use function handles checking for object cooldowns, inventory access and a t.on_pre_use function (for talent-based powers)

Important fields defined within object.use_simple or object.use_power:
	.tactical = tactics table for interpretation by the tactical ai, subfields may be functions(who, t, aitarget) where who = object user, t = talent used (defined here), aitarget = who's (actor) target
	This should be defined for NPC's to use the object intelligently
	.on_pre_use = function(obj, who) that must return true for the object to be useable
	.range = range of the ability (defaults to 1, may be a function(self, t))
 	.radius = radius of ability (defaults to 0, may be a function(self, t))
	.target = targeting parameters (table, may be a function(self, t)), interpreted by engine.Target:getType
	.requires_target, if true, don't use the object if the target is beyond radius + range

Updated charms(amulet, belt, boots, cloak, light-armor, mindstars, ranged, staves, torques, totems, wands, weapons and some fixed arts) with the required fields to use the items.
