Okay, now I didn't play 1.0, but wasn't Scourge an umbral magic spell for Thaumaturges in the beginning? So...why wasn't Scourge used as the DRK's ranged spell? That seems peculiar to change it to a weaponskill, since Bio was recycled for Arcanist.

For that matter, why did the Ascian bosses use bland name "Dark" spell instead of some variation of Scourge?
