The training of your skills and research of your spells can greatly impact your future, versus the creatures that inhabit our lands and the humanoid enemies we face in Carendel and the other cities of Olmran. The Elders have graciously come together in order to provide you with some information on how to make the most of the skills you are born with, and future ones you will acquire as you reach higher ranks in the Arcanum guild. Note: Training an armor type is futile, as anything higher than cloth effects your spells and your ability to tap, while significantly lowering your evade.
