- IC skills have two rolls that determine the result of the process: a
success roll and an item roll. If and when the success roll fails, you'll
see a glimpse of the item you rolled.
- A Super Specialty becomes available once two characters have the primary
skill (the first one listed) at Lv4 or higher and at least one character
has the secondary skill at Lv1 or higher.
- The level of a Super Specialty is the combined level of every character's
primary skill divided by 3.




        Customize

- Item used: none.
- Create weapons. There are 3 types of formulas: non-specific, semi-specific
(~), and specific / unique (=).
 - A non-specific formula can produce different results. Each character
 has 5-7 different weapons they can create this way.
 - A semi-specific formula has only one possible (successful) result and
 requires a specific metal/mineral, whereas the weapon needs to have a
 certain customization value (above or below a certain figure, or falling
 within a certain range).
 - A specific formula has only one result and requires both a specific
 metal/mineral and a specific weapon.
- The success roll for (semi-)specific formulas involves the value of
the result vs the combined values of the weapon, metal/mineral and the
random factor.
 - The weapon values range from 0 to 30. In practice, you won't be using
 anything with a value higher than 24.
 - The metal/mineral values range from 0 to 20.
 - The random factor ranges from 0 to x, where x is SLv*5.
 - The most powerful weapons require you to roll vs a value of 80.

        Machinery

- Item used: Material Kit - 1200 Fol (Linga, North City).
- Items of note: Support items, IC items (Magician's Hand, RIRICA), weapons
for Precis and Opera.
- There are also the 5 waza items (2 for Precis, 3 for Opera), but they've
got pretty low odds (one of them incredibly low).

        Authoring

- Item used: Fountain Pen - 460 Fol (Linga, Lacour, Central City)
- Writing has been heavily nerfed; You can only write books for skills
the author has at Lv5, and the books can only increase a skill up to Lv5.
Combined with Perseverance, there's really not much use you can get out
of this skill now. If it's something that only costs 1 SP, I'd just use SP.
- I suggest giving each character 3 books for Biology, 2 books for Mental
Science, 1 book for Kitchen Knife, 2 books for Metal Casting and 1 book
for Mental Training and Counterattack.

the success rate of IC as well as odds of learning new Talents. Requires
at least 8 pieces and the instruments needed to play them (no need for
duplicates). Doesn't affect Super Specialties.
- The performance lasts for 30 seconds. That's enough time for 7 attempts
(4 without speed up)(5 in SE).

        Practice (Train)
- Increase Exp gained at the cost of ATP and DFP. The increase and
decrease are 20% at most (combined skill levels divided by 4).

        Comprehension (Enlightenment)
- Earn more SP while suffering a stat penalty (At Lv10: -8% Accy, -40%
Evade, Guts & movement speed). DON'T EVER USE THIS, if only because you
might forget to turn it off later.

        Identify All
- Raise / lower prices for one shopping session (3*SLv %).

        Come on, Bunny
- Call a bunny that you can ride on the world map. There are no encounters
while riding.

        Survival
- Use 4 MP to find items from nature. Technically, the odds vary depending
on the location, but in practice, they're always abysmal. It seems that,
when you fail, the game teases you with one of the possible results
(even the exceedingly rare ones).

        Reverse Side
- Create items of dubious nature. Lowers affinity. Item used: Vellum Paper.

        Oracle
- Receive messages. That's it. No warping.
