Daevanion nodes: +4 levels → level 14

From DaevanionNode: skill nodes add levels to one skill. The path cost counts every node on the cheapest way there from the board's start (our calculation, as in the planner).

Gear: soul-binding skill effects

Guard, Greatsword, Longsword, Dagger, Bow, Spellbook… (1,313 items): soul binding draws up to 3 skill effects, each landing with 20%; a landed effect picks Defiance 834 times in 10,000 and adds +1 level.

Chance one item gets it: 4.92% — 1 − (1 − 20% × 8.34%)³, our calculation, assuming the draws are independent.
