| Magic and Lockpicking
A mage may take a long time to get lock pick skill using Unlocking CanTrip. However the game kindly provides a way to trade 20 points of Alignment for +20 point towards Magic on the magic/tech meter. You can buy the Helm rarely at any outlying Shop or obtain one by battling inside the Haunted Castle in Ashbuty. The helm is worn by the Necro in the lowest part of the dungeon. Every time to put on this helm you get the 20/20 swap thereby pumping up your magic to make spellls more effective. I use the helm for all magic users in my team. It makes Virgil more effective at healing and Raven is more effective with her water spells. However techs should not use the helm.
For game players that want to spend there points else where remember there are a total of 64 points. Seleted skill will need some base skill points and speific skill points. Set up and Need/Wants table with points distributed as appropriate. Constantly check the total never exceeds 64. Excel spreadsheet or equivalant is good for this or hand drawn as I did. So start a new game and have your spreadsheet handy. Or Excel on Alt-Tab. Never use Auto-level .  |
