Is this some kind of passive ability?

I forgot to specify the cooldown (and, accordingly, the fact of activation). But after your question, I started thinking about making it a passive ability but increasing the price.

Does it stack with this:

Yes.

It's a minor detail, but anyway.

I've fixed it.

Does it work with firearms?

No. And I'll mention the following point in advance: firearms in this setting don't have a very long firing range, they reload very slowly, and deal huge damage (really huge), penetrating armor.

Hmm, and what characteristics does initiative depend on? I can't figure it out.

Consciousness. But if you have a bonus to initiative from a skill, you go before those who don't have it. If you have two, you go before those who have one.

Let's say, if I don't need magic, can I reallocate three points from it to, say, agility?

No!
