Simple List of Skill Numbers

I was reading under the Skills section how it is difficult to use the character skills manager due to its two-column format, and that a visually-impaired person might just want to eventually memorize the skill numbers with their respective skills. So I made this list. If anyone thinks it would be helpful, please add it somewhere appropriate:

Column One:

Armor Skills
 1) Armor Use
 2) Shield Use

Weapon Skills
 3) Edged Weapons
 4) Blunt Weapons
 5) Two-Handed Weapons
 6) Ranged Weapons
 7) Thrown Weapons
 8) Pole Arm Weapons
 9) Brawling

Combat Skills
10) Two Weapon Combat
11) Combat Maneuvers
12) Multi-Opponent Combat
13) Ambush
14) Physical Training
15) Dodging

General Skills
16) Climbing
17) Swimming
18) Disarming Traps
19) Picking Locks
20) Stalking & Hiding
21) Perception
22) First Aid
23) Trading
24) Picking Pockets
25) Survival

Column Two:

Magic Skills
26) Arcane Symbols
27) Magic Item Use
28) Harness Power
29) Spell Aiming
30) Mana Control: Elemental
31) Mana Control: Spiritual
32) Mana Control: Mental

Spell Research
33) Spells from Circle 1
34) Spells from Circle 2
35) Spells from Circle 3

Elemental Lore
36) Air
37) Earth
38) Fire
39) Water

Spiritual Lore
40) Blessings
41) Religion
42) Summoning

Sorcerous Lore
43) Demonology
44) Necromancy

Mental Lore
45) Divination
46) Manipulation
47) Telepathy
48) Transference
49) Transformation

I do not use a screen reader, but I have one, and I can promise you that the Skill Manager you get when you CHECK IN at the inn, would drive my screen reader (and me) completely nuts. Is there any vision-impaired person who could give input as to whether the above list would be helpful to add to this gswiki article? I'm assuming it would best be placed on a sub-page that is linked as a helpful resource in the main article. So the list could be bookmarked and studied for memorization or reference purposes(?). One other thought: On skills that are Lores, it may be helpful to add the Lore type before each entry, such as "40) Spiritual Lore - Blessings" in addition to having the heading above each section. I'm really not sure. Thanks. -Soliere FIRENSIA (talk) 19:56, 13 July 2021 (CDT)
