Condition and premise of skills
1. Active Skills have their own incantations. While most of the characters in the novel do not always call out the skill names or incantations to invoke the activation of these skills, they are usually done so in the world of Parvula.
2. Even without incantations, Skill names must be recited to be registered as use by the System.
3. Active Skills create Skill Circles to indicate their moment of activation. For skills that has cast times or require verbal activation, they can be interrupted with disruption skills.
4. When a character level ups, they gain 10 Skill Points (SP), and sometimes skills based on their race, occupation and or class.
5. Skills start with LV1 when learnt and have a max level of 10. The amount of SP required to level a skill up is equivalent to the current level they are at. When a LV10 skill is levelled up, it reaches LV MAX and cannot be increased any further.
6. LV MAX skills grant a skill bonus to the user.
7. A martial art practitioner or a melee combatant can use a set keyword at the start of their skill chants or incantations to add an effect to them.
"Delay": Bypasses skills that require chants to activate them instantly. Also causes the skill effect/s to last longer, but overall effectiveness would be reduced by 30%. This is done to bypass the need to repeat incantations and skill names in the heat of battle.
"Enchant": Increases overall effectiveness of a skill by 30%. Creates a skill lag that lasts for a few seconds at the end of it in exchange for the boost.
8. Summons and familiars are considered party members.
