Korean Localization Changes

• 동물 지식 (Animal Lore) 기술 번역이 [동물학]으로 변경되었습니다.
• 장비 지식 (Arms Lore) 기술 번역이 [병기학]으로 변경되었습니다.
• 애완동물 관련 시스템 메세지 일부가 좀 더 자연스러운 표현으로 변경되었습니다.

• (예: "이 동물은 너무 많은 이전의 인간 주인들 때문에 지쳐있게 보입니다 → "이 동물은 너무 많은 주인을 섬긴 데에 진절머리가 난 것 같습니다")

• 동물학 창에서 볼 수 있는 애완동물의 상태 표현이 좀 더 유추하기 쉽게 변경되었습니다. 일부 부분은 약간 원문을 비틀었으나, 상대적으로 양극 상태 (혼란/행복)과 중립 상태 (불만/만족)을 제외하면 각각 4단계로 동일 형태로 분류하여 상태를 좀 더 파악하기 쉽게 만들었습니다.

충성도	이전 번역	현재 번역
Confused	혼란한	혼란스러움
Extremely Unhappy	극도로 불행한	몹시 화남
Rather Unhappy	아주 불행한	매우 화남
Unhappy	불행한	다소 화남
Somewhat Content	다소 만족스러운	약간 화남
Content	만족스러운	불만
Happy	행복	만족
Rather Happy	아주 행복한	약간 만족
