Skill Line may be useful in internationalization using the number to check the profession rather than the text (which changes with localization).

The skill lines known are: Archaeology (794), Alchemy (171), Blacksmith (164), Cooking (184), Enchanting (333), Engineer (202), First Aid (129), Fishing (356), Herbalism (182), Inscription (773), Jewelcrafting (755), Leatherworking (165), Mining (186), Skinning (393), and Tailoring (197).

Alchemy Specializations known are: Elixir (2), Potion (3), Transmute (4).
