Skills

Every class has its own pool. Skills drop in the mine; each fires on its own trigger.

Taking one. Skills lie on the floor as icons: click one to take it. A new skill takes a free slot; one you have ranks up (to 5). Ranks 3 and 5 add a mechanic, not just numbers. With every slot full, a panel asks what to replace, and the fight waits. A skill you give up is gone: replaced, passed on, or thrown off the bar with [Q].

Triggers. A skill fires on its own: on a clock, on a kill, when you are hit, after your movement skill... Fired skills wait a moment in a queue, so a burst that kills sets off the next: a cascade.

Tags decide what a bonus touches: +melee damage lifts your weapon and every melee skill. Your class's peak (Berserkergang, Hawk's Eye...) changes many skills while it lasts; Bonds join two skills you hold, and a Combo is what a skill does for another.

Slots. Berserker 5 · Elementalist 5 + Prism Slot (class level 10) · Huntress 5 + Falcon Slot (class level 10) · Grovekeeper 5 + Heartwood Slot (class level 10).
