Does anyone know how to access ESAction indexes from skilparam2? I haven't found them in the libconfig.xml 
It changes the skill formula and animation, as shown in Fig. 1.
Figure: I created a copy of Shield of Mana, in the original skill (1) the effect called by the ESAction 1122 is the original effect and increases MD, in the copy (2) with ESAction 1118 the skill effect called is the Sturdy Shield and DP is increased.
I've searched more deeply into the cream.xml and cream.nri, but still, they were just the render and the frames & animation info for the skill, nothing about the formula. I have also looked into the ES supplementary tables (ESATable & ESAIITable), but they don't have any information about the formula, just some additional parameters for the skills and the Ratio, which intrigues me. There's also a "comment" column, but as far as I've tapped into them, they are merely for dynamic UI strings shown in the skill description.
How do these ESA & ESAII tables know which stat they will apply the Ratio from the table? I've searched into the client HEX (Fig. 2), and I've got some attributes (e.g., ApRatio, DxRatio) and although they happen to be close to a list of ESActions, they are not linked to any particular ESA or ESAII table, in fact, changing them in the HEX editor had no effect on the skill I'm testing on a LAN server.
Figure 2: Client used was the "Trickster無殼.exe"
When researching the "trickster" tables and stored procedures from the database, I've found nothing as well
I'd like to understand how these indexes work, how they call an animation from the cream.nri and a renderer procedure from cream.xml, and ultimately, how is this ESAction index responsible for applying the skillparam2 attributes to certain stats (e.g., AP or MA). The more I think about it, the more it sounds like the client might be responsible for it... But so far, all the ESAction terms I've found and changed in the client resulted in no response to the formula of the skills. Anyway, if anyone knows how to access the ESAction indexes, or any hint at all, I'd be pretty ecstatic! Thank you in advance!
