[Xedra] Inventor: (Re)Add Dimensional Research

Summary

Mods "[Xedra] Inventor: (Re)Add Dimensional Research"

Purpose of change

I like the inventor class. Add some new goodies and other related recipes. Also have some more dimensional research ideas later on.

Describe the solution

Adds an NRE recorder crafting recipe to tier 3 energy research.
Adds the dimensional research path from tier 3 energy. Research requires nre readings

• Adds teleporter crafting recipe
• Re-ads vancian bill with some changes. Use to consume item and heavily damage a random enemy nearby. Luckily u_consume_item seems to prioritize held items.
• Adds a netherium warp grenade. This item will kill and destroy everything within its radius at the cost of a 50% chance of creating a tear in reality at its center. Potential future change with a new damage type to just delete everything entirely within the radius.
• Adds the Netherium-Reality Smoothing Device. This enormous device closes tears in reality and portals at the expense of causing portal storms, a lot of power, and the process of carrying it to the portal. Unfortunately the portal storm EOC seems a little bugged (Tripoint error when starting Splintered Reality  #74774) so it doesn't currently cause the portal storms

Code Changes:
Allows dropped items to cast spells. These spells are targeted on the dropped item itself. Used in order to allow the netherium grenade to cast a spell as its 'detonation' action. Otherwise the game would just instantly crash.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Add even more things

Testing

Tested that the new items and recipes are acquirable with research
Tested that the vanacian bill kills things
Tested that the netherium warp grenade REALLY kills things
Tested that the Netherium-Reality Smoothing Device closes portals.

• While its supposed to cause portal storms, that is done via the base game EOC_CAUSE_PORTAL_STORM which as of Tripoint error when starting Splintered Reality  #74774
  has an error. Using it just causes several tripoint errors for a while. Presumably whenever that is fixes this will also be fixed

Code:
Used the netherium warp grenade as a testing base, since it calls several sub spells that perform different actions. Largely confirmed that item spells work, they are targeted correctly on the dropped item, etc.

Additional context

This gives me ideas for an inventor fast travel tool

Hints for adding a new word to the dictionary

• If the word is normally in all lowercase, such as the noun word or the verb does, add it in its lower-case form; if the word is a proper noun, such as the surname George, add it in its initial-caps form; if the word is an acronym or has special letter case, such as the acronym CDDA or the unit mW, add it by preserving the case of all the letters. A word in the dictionary will also match its initial-caps form (if the word is in all lowercase) and all-uppercase form, so a word should be added to the dictionary in its normal letter case even if used in a different letter case in a sentence.
• For a word to be added to the dictionary, it should either be a real, properly-spelled modern American English word, a foreign loan word (including romanized foreign names), or a foreign or made-up word that is used consistently and commonly enough in the game. Intentional misspelling (including eye dialect) of a word should not be added unless it has become a common terminology in the game, because while someone may have a legitimate use for it, another person may spell it that way accidentally.

Ok it's too late for me to review this tonight and there is a conflict that I can't resolve in the browser. I'll try and review this tomorrow. :) Thanks for working on this!
