Centaurback Riding (Level: 6.66; -6% fatigue to mount from bearing a rider. Rank: Novice. Affinity: 100%)

Smithing (Level: 4.11; +8% improved quality of smithed items. Rank: Unskilled. Affinity: 100%)

Associated Attribute: Endurance; -10% time required to smith items.

To an outside observer, smithcraft is all about beating the stubborn out of heated piece of metal until it gives in. To one practiced in the skill, however, it is the art of persuading the metal to take the form it is meant to have. Master smiths can produce exquisite works of completely functional art from base metals, and artifacts of legendary repute from more rarified ingredients.

Armorsmith (Level: 1.00; +1% to final protection value of smithed armor. Rank: Unskilled. Affinity: 100%)

Associated Attribute: Endurance; +20% to final durability of smithed armor.

Smithing armor is an art all of its own, more personal than anything else done at the anvil. Masters of the art produce armor which fits like a second skin while capable of protecting from the attacks of giants.

Weaponsmith (Level: 2.68; +1% to final damage value of smithed weapons. Rank: Unskilled. Affinity: 100%)

Associated Attribute: Endurance; +20% to final durability of smithed weapons.

There is more to making a weapon than just sharpening a hunk of steel; a truly skilled weaponsmith produces weapons which are balanced so finely that they feel like an extension of the wielder’s own limb. A master weaponsmith could produce a blade capable of slicing through solid stone, given the proper materials and time to work.

Weaponsmith is a subskill of Smithing.

Storytelling (Level: 3.25; +6% increased skill experience gain for listeners. Rank: Unskilled. Affinity: 100%)

Associated Attributes: Intuition and Charisma; listeners are 36% more likely to correctly recall details of your stories.

Swords (Level: 8.04; +8% attack speed and +8% accuracy with swords. Rank: Novice. Affinity: 100%)

Associated Attributes: Speed and Might; +15% chance to exploit an opponent’s error and +5% damage with swords.

Sometimes called the king of weapons, swords are occupy the middle ground between reach, weight, speed, and damage potential. While they suffer against heavy armor, swords are excellent for dealing with multiple lightly-armored enemies in quick succession.

Novice: Your ability to fight multiple opponents at once while wielding a sword is slightly improved.

Thrown Weapons (Level: 1.00; +5% accuracy with thrown weapons and +0.2% damage with thrown weapons. Rank: Unskilled. Affinity: 100%)

Unarmed Combat (Level: 1.00; +0.5% accuracy and +2% damage with unarmed attacks. Rank: Unskilled. Affinity: 100%)

Associated Attributes: Might and Speed; +12% attack speed with unarmed attacks.

Whether it is called brawling, martial arts, boxing, or fisticuffs, Unarmed Combat is the Skill for fighting with your hands and feet. Its biggest advantage is that you will never be caught defenseless, but compared to actual weapons, the lack of reach and damage potential requires much higher Skill levels to achieve similar results.

Vivimancy (Level: 12.49; +12 spell power with vivimancy spells. Rank: Initiate. Affinity: 100%)

Associated Attribute: Intuition; +27 spell power with vivimancy spells.

One of the esoteric magics, vivimancy is the magic of life itself. With it you can heal wounds, cure diseases, bless crops, and ward against death. Masters of vivimancy can even bring the dead back to life.

Cost: 200 Concentration, 5,000 experience. Duration: Instantaneous. Casting Time: 4 hours.

Ensoul Object: Animamancy, level 1.

As a Chosen, there is an additional benefit to you: any object which is Soulbound to you and near you when you die will be brought to you when and if you return to life. This ritual can only Soulbind common, uncommon, or rare objects, and cannot Soulbind an object which is already bound.

The effectiveness depends on the intelligence and Willpower of the target and the spell power of the caster. This effect continues even after the spell has ended, but is not permanent.

The steed comes with appropriate riding gear, though not with any storage containers.

Cost: 100 Concentration; 10 Stamina per second. Duration: Concentration. Casting time: 10 seconds.

Summon Golden Fawn: Vivimancy, level 10.

Phoenix Pyre: Animamancy, Beast Magic, Fire Magic, and Vivimancy, level 1.

This unique and selfless spell causes the user to burn their own body, mind, and soul to damage nearby enemies and heal nearby allies. Such is the power of this ritual that, if used quickly enough, it can even prevent a soul from leaving the body of a slain ally and, if the ally's injuries are healed, restore them to life, but the cost for such a miracle would be great indeed. Deals fire damage to all enemies within 30 feet and heals Health, Stamina, and Psyche to all allies within 30 feet each second; damage and healing is based on the amount of the user's life force expended. Healing from this spell is caused by pure life energy and does not cause scarring. This spell can heal Wounds of any severity, if the cost is paid.

Spark of Life: Fire Magic and Vivimancy, level 5.

This spell summons the spark of life into a creature of death. This will consume them from the inside, dealing 137.78 [50 base +67% spell power, times 1.5 Kindle the Hearth-Flame, times 1.1 Firepower Talent] fire/life damage initially and inflicting them with the Burning Life status, which causes them to take 68.89 [25 base +67% spell power, times 1.5 Kindle the Hearth-Flame, times 1.1 Firepower Talent] fire/life damage per second for 5 seconds. Because of the unique mixture of the two damage types, this is affected by vulnerability to either fire or life damage, but can only be resisted by creatures with resistance or immunity to both fire and life damage. This ritual has no effect on creatures that are not aligned with death.

Cost: 25 Concentration. Duration: Instantaneous. Casting Time: 0.78 seconds [1 base -22% Initiate in Fire Magic]. Cooldown: 3.9 seconds [5 base -22% Initiate in Fire Magic].

Resurrection (UNLEARNED): Animamancy and Vivimancy, level 100.

Death is not absolute in the Realms, but once a soul has passed into the Beyond, it is gone forever—or so anyone would tell you. The very possibility of this spell is a secret that Powers would kill to maintain. For one with the Skills to learn it, it offers salvation and damnation in equal measure.

Cost: 500 Concentration and 10,000 experience per level of the deceased, rare incenses and oils, the body of the deceased. Duration: Permanent. Casting Time: 1 hour base (increasing with decreasing condition of the body). Cooldown: 1 year.
