Skill Level

A Skill Level determines your potential proficiency in a certain field. It is broken into three ranks, Level 1 (Regular Talent), Level 2 (Adept) and Level 3 (Legendary).

Skills cover almost every activity, from swordplay to piano playing. Skills are set at birth, and cannot be naturally raised or lowered. The majority of mankind remain at Skill Level 1 for the majority of their abilities.

Special Abilities
At Skill Level 2, a person can use an ability unique to them. This ability can either be inherited or invented. An invented ability is something the user came up with themselves, Rance Attack and Thunder God are examples of this.

An inherited ability is a unique ability you learn upon wielding a certain item, Red Commander Rick of Leazas uses the Byroad Sword, the Byroad contains the inherited ability "By-La-Way", which only works when wielding Byroad and only works for the Red Commander alive at the time, having been passed down through generations of them.
