Introduction

It's a scriptlet that allows you to equip skills aka temporarily learn a skill if a piece of equipment like a weapon or an accessory is currently equipped.

There was another scriptlet out there but it sucked for it used an iterator when I noticed it gotta be simpler. And yes, I was right about that! Take a look for yourselves!

About the Add-Ons

Both ports include a Menu Scene that will allow you to open a new menu after picking an item and its target. This menu will list all the skills you included either in the Constant or the Note Tag. There might be a skill requirement to be able to learn just ONE of those skills. For more details, please read the rest of my posts here.
