Add Mistborn-specific death reasons (Allomantic combat, Inquisitor execution, mist sickness, pewter drag, hemalurgic sacrifice, atium overdose, ashfall, koloss attack, Pits of Hathsin, rebellion, Lord Ruler's wrath, smoker failure). Add 15 custom nicknames (the Survivor, Ash Lord, Sliver of Infinity, the Ascendant, etc.). Suppress vanilla nicknames via replace_path to prevent immersion-breaking medieval titles. Full localization with lore descriptions for all entries. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Core Systems
- Allomancy — Genetic trait system. Dormant potential activates via "snapping" into Misting types or full Mistborn.
- Lord Ruler Attention — Variable (0–100) tracking defiance; escalating consequences.
- Compounding — Allomantic + Feruchemical overlap triggers on yearly pulse.
- Hemalurgy — Spike-based power transfer system.
