Dwarven Forge	5 Soul and 2 Endurance	Dwarves are masters of the forge. They can work their material in ways that seem supernatural to some. A dwarf can take any already completed weapon or armor and rework its properties. With this a dwarf can exhange spirit for defense or defense for spirit at a 1 to 1 ratio. If it is a weapon, they can trade parry with attack value at a 1:1 ratio. If the dwarf wants to reverse the change, the dwarf would simply reuse this skill, with that intention. The limit is 25 points per attribute. It takes 1 mintue per point change - can only spend up to 25 minutes so only up to 25 points	N/A: only one level	This is a Tier 2 skill Level 1: acquired
Dwarven Prospector	N/A	Dwarves are naturals at prospecting for new mines. They can easily sense the mineral or ore that they are looking for if they are nearby it. The dwarf simply needs to think on the type of ore he or she is looking for and if the dwarf is within 50 feet the dwarf will have a distinct ringing in the ears sensation, which will get louder as the dwarf gets closer. If the dwarf is a geomancer, multiply the range by the dwarf's runic energy.	N/A: only one level	This is a Tier 1 skill Level 1: acquired
That only counts as 1!	5 Endurance	Dwarven warriors love combat and are very competitive. If they see their friend get a kill, and the dwarf is in attacking range without moving of another target, the dwarf will immediately make a basic attack with no melee power added.	N/A: only one level	This is a Tier 1 skill Level 1: acquired
Blood Empowering	2 Soul	Dwarves can use their blood to empower their talisman. This allows them to give their talisman extra Soul at that moment to increase a spell's effects. With every 2 Soul you can increase a spells healing or damaging power by 1, if using a totem.	N/A: only one level	This is a Tier 1 skill Level 1: acquired
Dwarven Runes	N/A	Dwarves can use ylem stones to make small dwarven runes, with dwarven runic words etched into the stone. Unlike a traditional rune stone, these are much smaller and have very little real power. Instead they will have instant effects that are 20% as strong as the actual spell put into the stone. For example, you could make a dwarven healing rune that when pleaced on the head of the target would heal the target for 20% of what Essence Bolt would. Or perhaps a dwarven fire rune that when thrown at the target would do 20% of what firestreak would do. The upside here is that you can make 10 dwarven runes from one ylem, instead of just 1 rune stone, and these stones could be fashioned into things like arrow heads, or simply thrown or used quickly. Dwarven runes cannot be recharged however, and their use is 20% of that of a traditional rune stone.	N/A: only one level	This is a Tier 2 skill Level 1: acquired
Animal Talk	5 Soul	Able to communicate with animals and understand them.	N/A: only one level	This is a Tier 1 skill Level 1: 25/50
Creature Lore	N/A	This skill grants you the knowledge of the creature you are looking at and how to identify them and their variants. With this skill you will know the creature's stats, skills, behavior, and more.	N/A: only one level	This is a Tier 1 skill Level 1: 25/50
Other Sight	10 Soul	Wood Elves are at one with nature. The wood elf can use his or her connection with nature and natural creatures to see through their eyes. The wood elf relaxes for a moment, going into a meditative state, searching for any natural, non-hostile creature. Once found, the wood elf can see through its eyes to see what it sees for up to ten minutes. This can only work on natural creatures such as birds, horses, rats, bats, and the like - nothing that can be considered unnatural, hostile, or found in the bestairy.	N/A: only one level	This is a Tier 1 skill Level 1: acquired
Silent Hunter	N/A	Wood Elves can slow down their movement to half movement (or each action is two adventure actions) so that they are not making any sound, no matter what they are walking on. In this way, the wood elf can easily sneak up on a target and ambush the target, assuming no one else is around the wood elf to alert the target. This would allow the wood elf to attack before the battle starts.	N/A: only one level	This is a Tier 2 skill Level 1: acquired
Affect Form	20 Soul	This skill allows the spirit elf to drop their physical form and become spiritual. Their physical form will disappear, and any clothing, weaponry, armor, or packs on them not enchanted to their element will drop to the floor. The spirit elf will then be a spirit, like any other spirit or wraith, and thus able to move about without any physical restrictions. However, each round (in battle) or each hour (out of battle) that the spirit elf remains in spirit form the spirit elf must make a mental check, with a penalty of 10 that increases by 10 for each round or hour after that, as well as spend 20% of their max Endurance. Skilled Concentration will cut the Endurance cost in half, and decrease the penalty by 5. Should Endurance drop to 0 or the spirit elf fail a mental check, the spirit elf will need to make 1 save check, and should that fail the spirit elf will be dead, only able to be restored by Miracle Summoning or Resurrection. When the spirit elf is ready to regain physical form, the spirit elf needs to use this skill again. The spirit elf cannot affect the physical world in this form.	N/A: only one level	This is a Tier 1 skill Level 1: acquired
Affect Reality	10 Soul	This skill allows the spirit elf to affect the physical world while in spirit form. Using this skill will allow the spirit elf to open doors and chests, set and disarm traps, cause physical damage, and anything else as if physical. However, any physical damages will be halved.	N/A: only one level	This is a Tier 2 skill Level 1: 50/100
Safe Footing	N/A	Ignore unstable terrain. Walking on loose rocks, floors that may collapse, or slippery ice may normally cause you difficulty. Not with this skill. With this skill you can walk on such surfaces as if it were normal ground.	N/A: only one level	This is a Tier 1 skill Level 1: 25/50
Shadow Hide	N/A	Dark Elves are at home in the shadows and can hide in them easily. When using Hide, if the place is low lit or they are in a shadowy area, other targets are unable to perceive them.	N/A: only one level	This is a Tier 2 skill Level 1: acquired
Alchemical Application	N/A	Apply potion to weapon giving weapon its effects.	N/A: only one level	This is a Tier 1 skill Level 1: 25/50
Puck Shot	10 Soul	Roll hit chance to bounce projectile off one target or obstacle to hit another in range. Basically, if you have the range of 12 for your projectile weapon, you fire at one target 8 spaces away. There's another target that is 4 spaces from that target, still within the total 12 of your weapon. You would roll hit chance on that target as well, and if you succeed, your ammo will bounce off the first target and hit the second target. Same damage will be dealt to both targets.	N/A: only one level	This is a Tier 3 skill Level 1: 75/150
Critical Chi	N/A	Any Critical Hit with an attack that uses Chi also adds double Runic Energy.	N/A: only one level	This is a Tier 4 skill Level 1: 100/200
Magic Channeling	N/A	Increase spell damage by extra runic energy for each casting round added. If the spell calls for 1 casting round and you increase it to 2, you get to double your runic energy into the spell.	N/A: only one level	This is a Tier 3 skill Level 1: 75/150
Rune Stone Theory	N/A	Create rune stones and use rune stones more effectively, including applying effects before mastery. Basically, with this skill you can do the following: Create Rune Stones: you can create a rune stone using a spell line that you have mastered. You must have the spell line mastered before creating a new rune stone with that line. Improved Rune Stone Use: Spells within your rune stone will use 20% less SA from the stone, and don't worry it won't take that extra cost from you either. Furthermore, you can add 1/2 your character point rate to the spell mastery if you fail at the spell. Apply Non-mastered Effects: You will be able to use the rune stone effect on your weapons or armor as long as you have access to that spell it is connected to in the spell line. You won't have to wait for that spell to be mastered to have access to that affect.	N/A: only one level	This is a Tier 1 skill Level 1: 25/50
Spell Bomb	10 Soul	Changes a single target spell into a spell that affects all surrounding spaces around the target.	N/A: only one level	This is a Tier 6 skill Level 1: 150/300 Level 2: 175/350 Level 3: 200/400 Level 4: 250/450
Spell Necessity	N/A	Allows you to use Vitality to fuel spell if you do not have enough Soul. Basically, without this skill, if you used a spell that cost 10 Soul and you only had 5, the other 5 would come from your Awareness. With this skill that other 5 would come from your Vitality.
