hidden 5th job skill icons

I was able to find some hidden skill icons in the KMS files. I'm NOT 100% certain, but I believe these are old concepts for 5th job skill icons from 2013 (judging by the artwork).

**Max @ Orange Mushroom Blog:** "...developers mentioned that 5th job was first teased in 2013 with the RED update but it was put on hold until last year when development started again."

Hopefully they aren't real the thief one looks a bit too Kanna like.

I'm hoping the first two are real. I miss Elemental Composition

@maeselder: It's possible that they're just concept art, or in some sort of first stage with details and polishing to be done later.

Well either Nexon hired a 12 year old, or this is a load of crap, and considering MapleStory has some of the best pixel art I've seen, I'm pretty positive this is a giant load. These COULD be early ideas done hastily, but I don't know of a single skill icon in the game that is as crappy looking as those, and on top of that I see no reason why skill Icons would be in the files and nothing else. Data mining is done quite frequently, if there was anything I'd imagine it'd be wide spread pretty quickly.

Either way if these are something legit, I hope they slapped who ever decided to add them.
