MAGERY - (from Ubiq) There are three tiers of magic. The lower levels, the hybrid levels and the master levels. I'll talk more about it in the future, but the lower levels are the elemental schools from U8-9 (Fire, Earth, Air and Water). The hybrid schools are combinations of those elements, a study that the meer introduced. Only serious mages will ever get the hybrid schools. Stay tuned for more on the master schools.

NECROMANCY - No direct mention of this as being a skill, but several times the phrase has been used when discussing the NPC character Adranath.

WARRIOR - (from Mobius) At higher levels of armed combat a character will have access to a number of special abilities such as powerful attack combinations which essentially should be in the same realm of power in combat as spells. That way, mages don't get to have all of the fun. Fighters will have some really cool special effects of their own. The most significant of these abilities are the attack combinations. High level attack combinations will enable warriors to unleash a large string of attacks. In very rapid succession, that also generate other special effects such as knocking down and stunning your opponent.
