A good question indeed! In this Role Play there are skills, and skills in this RP are super special techniques that are extremely hard to learn and painstaking to master. You have to form this whole mindset in your head about how to do it and eventually you begin to see, feel, and sense the skill itself. This kind of sounds like the description of a crazy person, but fear not you aren't technically crazy.
Skills are barely known among anyone in this world, so you can't just be like. "I LEARNED THIS WHEN I WAS LITTLE!" And be an instant master. That's kind of like god-modding. It's okay if you actually did learn when you were little I guess, but I think it's more fair to force your character through pain and suffering so they earn these awesome skills. ~
Eventually though, skills will become quite common, people will figure it all out and realize that everyone can do them with a lot of patience and effort. But sometimes, a skill you can do won't be able to be done by someone else just because their mind works differently, or they are just weak.
Skills don't have to do with a certain element or gift or any crap like that. They are special crap that you wish you could do in real life. No that does not mean flying. We already have that.
But then you have to ask, if no one knows about it how do you learn it!?!
Shh, calm down. It's okay, there is always a way.
One way is to stumble upon a magical scroll and learn about it from there, wee. Another way is to accidently learn it and not even know it's a skill until a long time later. Or you could say it's a family tradition, or that there's a rumor going around about a skill and you try to learn it. So many possibilities!
Also, there will possibly be super special secret skills that are only written about in ancient texts. Those ones are even harder to master and are even harder to learn about.
That's pretty much all you need to know about skills. If I have anything to add in the future it will be added, and if you have any questions about skills post below, for I shall answer.
