Well one of my main issues in WLO would be it's spelling and lack of a decent English skill description. Or should I say it murdered the English language. So, in return, we should do them a favor instead and correct these, and may be add something to make it look even better. Shall we start?

most of those skills were there during 2008-2009, sometime around there, igg was given a new owner, and thus, you can see the difference between v2 and the rest of the versions up to date. In other words old owner was a bit bland, new owner added a bit more flavour (in my opinion).

I'm sure they wouldn't bother to go do something as drastic as change the description for a skill.

Take them out with Love. One by one.

Spoiler:

It's quite fascinating. The way people speak. The way people act. The way people just...live. People are different. You see hundreds of cultures all over the world. Some differ by a small percentage. Others can be completely the opposite of another. We think what we think. We do what we do. This all pertains to the function of the brain. Thinking. Then the possible question forms from the confines of some minds. "What if.....?" Yes indeed, what if? What if I did this? What if I did that? How would this benefit me? How would this put me at a disadvantage? What is the purpose of this? The human mind is a very complex thing. It could form millions of thoughts in just one single second without the owner even realizing all but..one. And what is this one thought? This one outlier in the mathematical functionality of the brain? This is what we think. Out of all the possible thoughts, this is the one thought we think about at the present moment. And what is the result of this thought? Success. Failure. Love. Hate. Passion. Determination. Character. Personality. Actions....Death.

In-game description :
Sword Awn Attack : Speeds up to attack.
Sword Awn Hit : Hurts the target gently.
Sword Awn Beating : Gives a deadly strike.

Sword Awn Hit's description, while somewhat interesting, really doesn't make any sense. Do any of you really wanna "attack your opponents gently" in battle.. I doubt it. The move basically cuts through your opponent 2 times, and even after those 2 cuts, they recieve 3 more hits.

Sword Awn Hit : Slices through the target 2 times, leaving them feeling the pain even after they've been hit.

Kind of a long description, but I think it's much more accurate.

@Dave

At last someone got what am I trying to imply here. Awesome.

My own edited name of Eddy Attack/Hit/Beating and its description:

Frost Thunder Attack

Frost Thunder Attack: Attacking the target in 5 consecutive hits with the fusion of Frost and Lightning.

This might be a guess, but I think they might have either had typos while making the descriptions, or they might have gotten it from chinese wlo (not norn saber) and translated it wrong...still....zZzZ the skill description isn't really important....

Well I think I highlighted it as Eddy Attack/Hit/Beating. I'm pretty sure that Eddy Beating have a lighting on it.
