Stats, Values and Skills

On thy travels in the land of Astonia, thou shalt meet with many dangers and perils. Thou must learn to master thy spells and skills. Only then shalt thou victoriously pass all trials and adventures awaiting thee. As thou gainst experience, thou must raise the right skills and spells to become an ultimate hero.

Attributes

The four attributes form the base for most other skills and spells. Thou must use the right combination of these attributes to enhance thy most important skills.

Wisdom

Agility

Strength
This attribute will lend thy arm more power, making thee hit harder; needed for all fighting skills and some other skills.

Note on attributes:

Each skill and spell is based on three of the attributes. The actual skill/spell level is calculated by adding the attributes and dividing them by five (plus adding the skill, of course):

final_skill_level=(base1+base2+base3)/5+raw_skill_level+magical_modifiers

The unmodified skill level is used when calculating the minimum requirements for weapons.
