In order to see what abilities you have in a skill (if there are, indeed, any

them. After that, typing AB <skillname> <ability name> will give you help,

Skills represent a group of abilities or your mastery of a single ability in Aetherius. (See HELP 4.12)

Skills in General

Generally speaking, there are two types of skills:-

  • those that cost ~1800 lessons (these being the General and Profession skillsets)
  • those that cost ~700 lessons (these being the Mini-skills and Trade skillsets)

More detail can be found in 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.
