Skill Levels
- Active skills open a specialization option at level 8, 12 and 16. You get one specialization point at each of those levels, so you end up choosing 3 of the 5 options a skill offers. Passives have no specializations, and stigmas run their own ladder off stigma shards.
- Skill points and the Daevanion boards take a skill to 14.
Wisdom Stones cover
1–10 and the first four boards add +4. Every level past that, on actives and passives
alike, comes from soul binds and arcana cards.

Arcana
Section titled “Arcana”Each arcana card draws from a fixed slice of your skill list:
| Card | Pool | Carries |
|---|---|---|
 Chalice |
22 | all active and passives |
 Scales |
22 | all active and passives |
 Parchment |
6 | half your actives |
 Compass |
6 | the other half |
 Bell |
5 | half your passives |
 Mirror |
5 | the other half |
| Hourglass · Key | — | no skill lines at all |
A Unique card holds 4 skill lines, each enhanceable to +4 — up to 4 actives on a Parchment or Compass, 4 passives on a Bell or Mirror, or any mix of the two on a Chalice or Scales — and transmuting one lets you name those skills specifically rather than rolling for them.
Soul bind
Section titled “Soul bind”How many lines a piece rolls is set by its grade:
| Grade |  Weapon · Guard · Ring |  Earrings · Necklace · Armor |
|---|---|---|
| Common | 1 | 1 |
| Rare | 2 | 2 |
| Legend | 3 | 3 |
| Unique | 3–5 | 4–5 |
| Heroic | 4–6 | 5–6 |
Unique and Heroic pieces add a bonus Soul Fuse line once every soul bind on them sits at 100%.
You have roughly a 2% chance of landing the skill you want on a line: 80% of the choices are stats and 20% are skills.
