+'''Skills''' represent a group of abilities or your mastery of a single ability in Aetherius. (See HELP 4.12)
-Much of your life in Imperian will revolve around your skills. Skills are

-something (like dodge arrows and sword blows, for instance). Typing SKILLS will
-list which ones you have, and typing HELP <skillname> will give you some more
-information on each skill. Furthermore, many skills have anywhere from 20 to 50
-abilities within the skill. An ability could be an individual spell, or
-something like a particular type of kick or swordstroke.

-'miniskills'. Miniskills differ from skills only in that they take far fewer
-lessons to master (see HELP LESSONS).
+== Accessing your Skills ==
+To view your skills, type SKILLS.
+To view your command of your skills, type LESSONS.
+To view the abilities available to you within your skill, type AB <skill> FULL. You will only be able to use those in white for now.
+=== A brief example ===
+IdrasiYouth is a young [[Idras]] [[Predator]].
+In '''SKILLS''', he will see all of the General skillset and all of the Mini-skills.
+In '''SKILLS''', he will also see [[Predation]], [[Knifeplay]], and [[Beastmastery]] (which are granted him by virtue of being a [[Predator]]).
+He then learns 291 lessons in Knifeplay from his Guildmaster. This puts him at '''0% Gifted''' as seen in '''AB''' (or '''291 lessons''' as seen in '''LESSONS''').
+In '''AB KNIFEPLAY FULL''', he will see that he has access to all skills in Knifeplay up to [[Slit]].
+While he improves his mastery of Knifeplay, his damage output from his deadly sitaras will increase.
+Once he completely masters Knifeplay (that is '''Transcendent''' as seen in '''AB''' or '''1738 lessons''' as seen in '''LESSONS''') he will be able to use [[Bladesurge]], the amazing ability that lets him strike four times in a single move when he is threatened.
+== Skillsets ==
+The General skillsets are available to everyone. They constitute some useful and some useless skills, depending on your profession, your race, and the way you decide to play your character! Of note, [[Survival]] is the most important of these skillsets.
+The General skillsets include:
+* Concoctions
+* Engineering
+* Evasion
+* Perception
+* Survival
+* Tattoos
+* Taming
+* Toxins
+* Weaponry
+The Mini-skills are also available to everyone. They are essentially damage mitigation and when mastered grant you a skill - the best of which comes from Antidotes, the ability to [[Purge blood]], a very useful combat skill.
+The Mini skillsets include:
+* Antidotes
+* Constitution
+* Fitness
+* Frost
+* Galvanism
+* Philosophy
+* Thermology
-Though the general skills that you start off with are useful, it is the
-guild-specific skills that make up the core of your character. To gain these
-sets of skills, all of which will have many abilities in them, you will need
-to join a guild. You may read more about guilds and classes in section 8.0.
-In order to see what abilities you have in a skill (if there are, indeed, any
-abilities in that particular skill), typing AB <skillname> will let you see
-them. After that, typing AB <skillname> <ability name> will give you help,
-generally speaking, on that individual ability. In addition, typing in AB
-<skillname> FULL, you will be able to see all the abilities in that skillset.
-Abilities that you do not have will be listed in red.
