New Features

• Skill Tree Scrolling - Skill tree UI now scrolls when there are many tiers
• XP Progress Bar - Skill tree header shows progress bar to next level with "current / needed" XP format

Mana System Design

Players start with 0 mana - it must be earned through skill tree choices. Each skill class has a distinct mana identity:

• Staves - THE mana class (360+ max mana potential). Bo staff masters channel mystical energy
• Archery - High mana (290+) for wand and spellbook users
• Crafting - Moderate mana (305) for enchanting and magical item creation
• Block/Harvesting - Low mana (65-180) for survivability or nature attunement
• Physical Combat (Swords, Daggers, Axes, Blunt, Polearms) - Minimal mana (15-38). Warriors rely on steel, not sorcery
• Gathering (Mining, Woodcutting, Excavation) - Minimal mana (23-38). Laborers focus on physical prowess
• Acrobatics/Building - Zero mana. Pure physical disciplines focused on stamina
