Description
### Describe the bug
Magiclysm lets you enchant a scalpel, which gives additional levels of the Fine Cutting quality. In the base game, you jump straight from 3 fine cutting from a regular scalpel to 5 fine cutting with the surgical CBM, and so the description for 4 or 5 fine cutting saying "You dissect the corpse with a sophisticated system of surgical grade scalpels." makes sense. It makes less sense when you're using an enchanted regular scalpel.
### Attach save file
N/A
### Steps to reproduce
Dissect anything with a +1 or +2 scalpel.
### Expected behavior
This seems like a tricky one to "solve", in that it's very minor and also is probably just pulling from the Fine Cutting quality. Maybe a Fine Cutting action description that's less specific in the process being used to do the dissection? I'm sure that any other process added by a mod would run into the same issue.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Reproduce the issue by dissecting something with a +1 or +2 scalpel while Magiclysm is enabled. No source file or test is named; trace the Fine Cutting action description and determine wording that does not assume surgical-grade scalpels. Done means enchanted regular scalpels no longer produce the misleading description.
