2 possible ways to lock affinity skills behind the rifts activation

[Vahnheim]

The first one is changing the unlock requirement to either open a rift and or be in a server that has rifts open already
after the conditions are met it gives the player a single respect point, multiple or a full reset so that they can reallocate as they need (so a point is not `wasted `in an inactive skill from day one).

This new unlock condition resets upon joining a new server every time so if someone wants those skills on day 1 they can turn on rifts in the server options

The second option unfortunately does not work for all characters but it keeps the skill tree as is but those skills have a diminished effect if rifts are not open
Like for instance willows alignment skill does a combination of physical and planar damage, but whiled the rift is close it would do only the physical part and not the planar

For other characters without such skill, they would lose any kind of planar defense, attack or alignment bonus until rifts are open but when it does they can reallocate those skills or simply get their full effect if they were diminished
