Tutorial on stats: each 1 point in a stat act as an exponent, for example, someone who has a strength of 1 actually has a strength of 2^1, or 2, someone who has a strength of 3 actually has a strength of 2^3, or 8.
Here is an example status screen

Skills: Typing lvl. 5 (Master)
Skills are really hard to come by, and also act as exponents, for example, a skill
(Throwing lvl 1(novice)) acts like this 1^1, or 1. All Throughout (novice) ranks you gain no bonus, but beginning at beginner lvl you instead get 2^1 or 2. All the ranks of skills act as more powerful exponents the skills go (novice(1^x)-beginner(2^x)-Adept(3^x)-Expert(4^x)-Master(5^x)). Once the skills get to level ten you get the option to increase its rank, at the cost of temporarily lowering your skills ability, at master rank, there, is no limit. Some skills get extra bonuses based on their rank and rarity, for example, the skill (Mana Focus (Uncommon)(novice)) you get +10% bonus potency for all spells cast, progressing with skill level x rank, for example, a (Master LvL 3) would get +150% potency.
