At least some of the others can be done, but it's admittedly a lot clunkier than "take a penalty to the attack roll and pay some FP, get an added effect." In the linked thread, I have the Lizard Climb Technique replace the skill of the same name and Vanish replace Invisibility Art, and Flying Leap could be done in a similar fashion to Sprint - rather than have Running skill used to emulate Enhanced Move, you use Jumping skill used to emulate Super Jump. Light Walk is a lot more finicky - perhaps it defaults to the lower of Acrobatics and Stealth, but I'm not sure what Advantage it would emulate... perhaps an extremely-Limited version of Walk on Air?
