Turning Runic into Cover

While I was looking at the code, trying to decide which skill I wouldn't miss... I started wondering, what stops you from just adding another new skill?

Well, didn't take long to figure what a pain that would be, so the next thought was: Could you consolodate two skills into one, and have a free slot to add a new skill?

This might not be that difficult. Say you go to Shock, and add a comparison check. If Leo, then continue the shock code, if not, jump to the possess code.

With my very basic (or lower) understanding of how abilities work right now I figured why not try it. Go to start of runic, and drop in a

Code:

CMP 04  (Which should have been Edgar, I thought)
BEQ 03    
JMP 1A 17 (location for shock in C2)
JMP 1E 17 (location for health in C2)

Done similar in C1 as well. Gave him runic, run out and recruited him for the first time. Selected Runic from the menu and he cast shock... on himself... (yeah still had runic targeting but the purpose was to see if the compare and branch would work). So, perfect test, not really, but it does tell me it didn't branch.

So, other than having two abilities with the same name (hence two temporary abilities combine) and a not working if/then statement... any reason why this couldn't be done to effectively add a whole new command without rewriting the whole page?
