The Official Skill Guide

[Silvertide]

Here we are at the OFFICIAL *cough* skill guide! This guide is a reference for you to understand the limits of your skills and how to teach your dang character how to even learn these skills. Though this is a guide, I'm going to be mean and tell you right now that I won't provide all the info for every skill for I don't even know how to learn them all myself, I'm letting the imagination of everyone handle it. But though I can't help with all I can help with some since my character, Del, is/will learn some skills.
Since this is kind of like a group project here is a little outline thingy for you to follow and insert your data into this nifty guide.

Here is where my bits for the guide will go.

Skill: Friction

Your Character Who is Learning it: Del

How Hard This is To Learn (on a scale from 1 to 10): 5 1/2

How to Learn This Skill: It helps to close your eyes at the beginning and to touch your nose to the ground since it's easier to feel the waves of friction that way. With a lot of practice with your senses you can eventually see the waves of friction through concentration.

Milestones:
First week- can increase and decrease friction upon yourself slightly while closing your eyes and toning down the use of your other senses
Second week- friction control increases slightly
Third week- you can feel the friction
Fourth week- you can walk up a wall with a lot of effort
Fifth week- you can use your friction on others
Sixth week- friction control increases
Seventh week- you no longer have to close your eyes but you have to stay very still
Eighth week- you can move freely while using friction and your control increases
Ninth week- your range is basically as far as it can go and your control is top notch
Tenth week- you can go a while using friction without getting a head ache and passing out, you basically mastered it by now
Eleventh week- you perfected the skill and are very skilled at using it

Skill:Camoflauge

Your Character who is learning it :Mystic

How Hard This is To Learn (on a scale from 1 to 10): 8

How to Learn This Skill:The best way is to studied a camelons actions and try it on your own. You must remeberize scenery to concntrate your ownself into its bind force. Or feeling one with an object to learn is sense, life, and most importantly texture. You focus on finding yourself one with the background, making your own image become the scenery and texture. This is a very hard skill so I suggest that you focus and concentrate well.

Milestones:
First week-Can feel one with natures forces.
Second week-Rememberize scenery exact. 100%
Third week:Know exactly what the texture is just by feeling. 100%
Fourth week-Increase in forces with natures image
Fith week-Break apart your skin malacouels by a little
Sixth week:Compeletly know how to break apart your skin malacouels
Seventh week-Parts of skin starts to form
Eighth week-You comepletely can go camoflauge

Skill: GRAVITY!

Your Character Who is Learning it: Ian of course X3

How Hard This is To Learn (on a scale from 1 to 10): .... I would say a 8-ish

How to Learn This Skill: It takes a ton of focus and practice. It is suggested that you "Become one with the universe" in order to master it. Meditation focus and studying gravity A LOT are your best bet.

Milestones:
Week 1: Begin mediating and studies
Week 2: Studies and meditation times are increased when possible
Week 3: Studies come to an end thanks to increased time. Meditation time is increased again.
Week 4: You begin to feel the pull of gravity.
Week 5: You can lift small parts of yourself but not your entire being yet.
Week 6: You can lift yourself but aren't able to move nor bend it without meditation just YET.
Week 7: You can now move around and bend gravity without the need for meditation though you can't go far. It is recommended that you still meditate so that you can keep your skill in top condition.
Week 8: You can bend gravity to a further distance. You can move around as long as you please
Week 9: You can bend gravity around small objects like pebbles and such as well as increase your distance.
Week 10: You can begin to bend gravity around smaller animals and have increased your distance to about 4 feet.
Week 11: You can now bend gravity around animals and objects that are about the same size as yourself. Your distance has reached about 5.5 feet now.
Week 12: You can bend gravity around animals and objects larger than yourself, your distance has reached nearly 7 feet.
Week 13:You have basically mastered the skill by this point. From here on out practice as often as possible to ensure you stay at top preformance state for this skill. Give yourself a pat on the back for a job well done.

Quite a skill to master based on this plan. Over 2 months! Ian has his work cut out for him. Everyone has their own ways to master it though so it isn't LIMITED to this plan though this one is suggested the most since it takes it at a sorta slow pace so you don't tire yourself out and spend ALL of your time trying to master it.

[prinprinkley]

I think I'll have my character try to learn the skill gravity with that plan, thanks for the help.

BE WARNED! THE FOLLOWING SKILL IS VERY DANGEROUS AND RISKY TO LEARN! IT CAN RESULT IN MOI AND IF YOU AREN'T CAREFUL DEATH! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. (yeah it's that dangerous)

Skill: Pure Gift (to be added to the list later)

Your Character Who is Learning it: Ian

How Hard This is To Learn (on a scale from 1 to 10): 15 (that's right, this skill break the scale .-.)

How to Learn This Skill: There is no actual way to learn the skill as not much is known about it. It is incredibly hard, stressful, and time consuming to learn with some reprocussions. There are perks for when you MASTER the skill but again. it's hard to learn. The real true way to learn it is through intense training that can sometimes cause pain and sometimes illness to the student.

Milestones: (counted every 8 days)
Day 1: Begin to train yourself in harnessing your Gift (From BAPPT) or skill (from the official list). You need to work almosst day and night to make sure your control over your skill is at top notch.
Day 8: After a week of insuring complete control over your Gift/Skill, you will need to begin intense training to STRENGTHEN your Gift/Skill.
Day 15: This is that point where you are at the most risk of getting MOI (see TSJ features for info). This is your housing organ's way of adjusting so you can continue to build up more power in the case of this skill. otherwise you just pushed yourself to hard. (Be advised to stay near someone who is able to heal you fast)
Day 22: After having recovered from MOI you will be set back a bit so you will need to stregthen yourself further. At this point the visible part of your gift/skill (like the flames of a fire weilder) will flash white. However, you will not notice this.
Day 30: You may or may not get MOI at this point. If not then you aren't trying hard enough. If so then you know you're on the right track. (sucks getting it multiple times huh?)
Day 38: Your gift/skill is at top preformance. Now you just need to train until you may begin to see the white more often. At this point, if you haven't gotten MOI twice then you are visibly set back as your gift/skill will seem "weaker" so to speak. If you gotten it twice the congratz! You're well on your way to mastering this skill.
Day 46: You will be able to enter the "Pure Form" with much extra work however you may not stay there for very long as it uses much energy and you will pass out. (Be warned, enter it twice in less than 6 hours and you will get MOI)
Day 54: You may enter "Pure Form" at will however you may not stay there for very long as you will pass out. (enter twice in less than 6 hours=MOI)
Day 62: You have extended your time to aproximately(SP?) 15 minutes before you pass out. (If you don't get the hints from above then life sucks for you)
Day 70: It has been over 2 months. You may now stay in "Pure Form" as long as you wish but it takes work to stay there for very much time which causes you to pass out for longer.
Day 78: You may now stay in "Pure Form" for as long as you want without to much extra work. Be warned you still pass out, there is no way to avoid passing out when you leave Pure Form.
Day 86: You have mastered the skill and i will warn you once more: IF YOU USE THE SKILL TWICE OR MORE IN LESS THAN 6 HOURS THEN YOU GET MOI! THIS MEANS, IF YOU BREAK YOUR PURE FORM AND TRY TO RE-ENTER IT YOU WILL GET IMMEDIATE MOI! IF YOU DIDN'T READ THIS AND YOU AVOID ALL MOI THEN I WILL NOTICE!
Nearly 3 months to learn this skill and getting sick almost all the while. Indeed a near impossible skill to learn. I did run this by Del before hand and he approved so it is allowed. A lot of people back away and stop learning this skill when they realize how hard it is. Have fun everyone! See you in the arena! >:3

[prinprinkley]

What is Pure form exactly? Just wondering.

[Artemis1225]

Meh. I'll put in my two cents. :/

Skill: Sharp Eyes

Your Character Who is Learning it: Xia

Sixth day: You can see pretty freakin' far (about 95-120 yards). You can also see through walls of any type.




Small, Barely-readable Disclaimer: Due to the fact that you're training a delicate organ, there is a small chance that you could suffer altered vision, or blindness (temporary or otherwise; your choice) from practicing this skill. Have fun. ^_^

[howlingfox]

The pure form is simply just like you glowing white XD. typically your eyes will also glow pure white and your gift/skill with be white whenever it is seen. For example, Ian, would most likely have his blazing armor, which would be white, a glowing white ouline, and glowing white eyes. The glowy stuff cannot be added in character creator unlss you make a preset (which no one else would see) but hey, we have imaginations for a reason XD The glowng just shows that you're in "Pure Form" and it signifies that your gift/skill will be boosted temporarily for as long as you can hold the form, which takes a lot of your energy (not magic energy but normal energy) in order to maintain. that is prt of the reason it is so hard to master and takes so long.
Sorry if that wasn't clear ^_^' it was kinda late when i wrote it XD

Skill: Chain Link

Your character who is learning it: (To be added to the list) Tomoe

How hard is it to learn: (From 1 - 10) 6

How to learn this skill: Be true to yourself, and don't lie to your heart.

Milestones:

1. You know your emotions and don't question them.
2. You learn to see from others point of view.
3. You learn to understand others emotions and connect with them.
4. The user can start seeing a small white chain (That is invisible to others) form around your target, but doesn't have effect,
5. Your eyes start to fade when using it.
6. Eyes fade then light up.
7. Once casted you start to hear their thoughts.
8. You are able to cast the skill and hear thoughts and read emotions yet to get the nerves.
9. The user can now use his skill, but yet to complete it.
10. The user asks for his target to think of some one dear to them, then chain links the one they are thinking of. (Chain link is complete)

This is how Chain Link works!! The user casts an invisible chain to his target and it links their thoughts together. They then can hear each other and know their emotions, now this is how it causes damage! If the target would cut/stab the caster and make him/her bleed then the one who inflicted the wound would get the very same wound. If the caster would hurt the one he used chain link on him/her would be injured as well.

Skill: Alchemy

Your Character Who is Learning it: Xia

How Hard This is To Learn (on a scale from 1 to 10): 8

How to Learn This Skill: When beginning to learn this skill, it’s best to have a small material object to practice on, like a stone or the like. Learning this skill also requires a certain level of patience, since it’ll take a few days to see the results of your work.

Milestones:
Week 1- Study said material object...no, really study it. How it looks, how it feels, the works.
Week 2- The texture of the object will be changed slightly when you use the skill, although not enough for you to notice.
Week 3- The texture will now be changed enough when you use it for you to notice.
Week 4- Even more change.
Week 5- You should be able to change the texture enough to change the stone/object’s shape (But not into a different object, mind, like stone into crystal.)
Week 6- You can change a solid to a liquid or a liquid to a solid, and change them back again.
Week 7- You’ve decided to go farther. Here’s your reward-you can make metal rust and corrode! Hooray!
Week 8- Even more practice. You can now change dirt to steel, and coal to diamonds (heck, even water into wine). It will, however, take additional time to do without much effort.
Week 9- Congratulations, you’re now Nicolas Flamel. Go forth and discover the Philosopher’s Stone. Experiment with other liquids, jewels, reactions, and whatever else you can get your paws on as you please.
