Would one of you veterans be so kind as make a list spells and skills with thier descriptions? I don't know how many skills work, or what they do, and don't want to put alot of xp into something that won't be very useful. I'm not asking for proff info or a skill tree, so I think this will be helpful without breaking the rules.

Are you asking for exact mechanics or are you asking for basic information that you could learn just by using them and dicking around a little bit?

There's really no skills that aren't useful, it's just that there's a lot of skills that are less useful than others. Seriously, the only useless skill in this game is Unmask for Thieves.

By chance, you also have to prof the hell out of most of the less useful skills to get the most useful skills.

Of the skills you listed, Aim, Regen, Enchant, and maaaybe Kick are ones that won't be too urgent for leveling up. Maybe Kick because it is a fun-as-hell Skill, but it only increases its damage to level it up.

Just in brief. For instance I dont see that pray actually does anything when I use it, and aim just seems to take a lot longet to fire an arrow. The ones I have listed are ones that I and a few others have no idea what they do and think there should be a list.

I'll give you a more accurate description of the mechanics, since I'm feeling nice this morning.

Wall: Uses a weird formula to flat out block magic or bounce magic. Block magic just doesn't affect you (generally tier 2s - the animation happens over you but you aren't hit). Bounced magic usually bounces to a hostile. Spells higher than the prof of Wall itself will usually break through Wall. Non-hostile spells with no non-hostiles around will usually break through Wall.

Barrier: Immensely reduces damage after armor damage reduction. You still take armor damage from this.

Fear: Limits keyboard movement, removes ability to cast spells and use items. That's it.

Aim: Charge a shot (increased recoil and firing time) but almost guaranteed critical shot.

Ruse: Increases Agility
Fog: Increase defence

Enchant: Enchants a lock so it can not be picked by a Ninja with Lockpick.

Esuna: Cures negative status ailments except for Blind and like something else that no one gives a shit about. Probably Lock or something.

Meditate: Quickly regenerates mana, especially at higher profs, but has an immense cooldown and takes a while to really get started on regen.

Regen: Slowly heals hp. Lost when the person falls below 25% HP or hits 100% HP.

Pray: Raises HP of all party members, including yourself, over time, no matter where they are.

X-Magic: Removes cooldown of spells for a certain number of spells for an immense cooldown after the casting and cut magic ability. Only spell with an actual timer before it can be recast.

Refresh: Slowly regens mp. Lost when the person falls below 25% MP or hits 100% MP. Teeechnically, if you -regen- the MP that hits 100% or 25% you lose it, but say if you fall below it then use a tincture really fast you usually don't lose it. But if you don't know how MP regen tics work, then just believe it is lost if you fall below 25%.

Armlock: Prevents target from moving, does damage over time.

Grab: Prevents target from moving

Kick: Base range three tiles. Kick across enemies in a line. As long as there are enemies to kick over, you will continue moving. Yes, people have kicked through screens of enemies before.
