Skills:

On Terra Sol, people and creatures can obtain special abilities known as Skills.

Almost all skills, except for two special groups, can reach a skill level of 50. Skills that have reached Lv.50 can be traded for a higher-ranking skill. This process is called "Skill Evolution".

When a skill reaches a certain level, a derivative skill gets unlocked in the Skill Shop. Obtaining a class will also unlock new skills. In this case, the skills will be related to that class.

One can also use several skills at certain levels for a Skill Merge Evolution, where you obtain a new, advanced skill that combines the effects of all the component skills.

Skills that lack skill levels are perfected skills, and they cannot be improved anymore.

The different skill categories:

• Ability Skills:
  • Skills that can alter one's status values.
    • This also includes special skills that enhance the skill holder's body to withstand the strain of status values higher than what their body can handle.
• Attack Skills:
  • Skills that are used for attacks. Can be divided into three sub-categories:
    1. Arts: Special moves used with weapons. A single Art Skill includes many varieties of Arts.
