Can you even do your math homework?
Can you even write a quest on time?

How long does the transformation last? Do the monster's stats not depend on the character's stats at all? For example, can a larger monster emerge from a human than from a fairy?

Is the first skill required to take the second?

Will Halmaldir turn into an amoeba? What will Tsukiko turn into?

Does each rune cost one skill point? Do runes affect the undead?

Is this even applicable in battle? When using abilities, does the cultist somehow reveal himself? For example, does he need to make hand gestures or say magic words?

How exactly? Can you choose the type of death? Does death occur immediately?

Sky, can a gladiator expert take the Jurian claws as a skill?

I think that magic specializations should be given the ability to take a free spell when learning. Because otherwise, it just feels weak. Unless you're playing a pure elementalist (which gives you three spells + an elemental), playing a race with +2 to skills, or not taking the Society skill. But if you don't take Society, you have enough mana for 1-2 casts. With maximum Intelligence and Endurance, a mage (without racial bonuses and skills) has 750 mana. At best, this is 7 Whirlwinds, which is two or three corpses. However, for most other elemental branches, this is 2-3 combat spells. And even if combat magic were really strong, it isn't. An elementalist can deal, at best, 450 damage per cast. And that costs 300 mana. And it's embarrassing to even talk about AoE: two casts of 150 damage each is just not serious. And for this, he needs to max out Intelligence, Endurance, and Willpower. In other words, be an elf or take a race with a bonus to mana (to compensate for the lack of mana from un-maxed Endurance). Only Society makes the picture less bleak, increasing the number of casts fourfold. But it also costs 4 skill points, leaving most races with 3 spells of one element or 1 spell in two. Non-standard branches are often more expensive in terms of skill points and not much cheaper in terms of mana, so the situation is even more bleak.
