I just can't figure out which experience is doubled. Is it the general experience? The general experience for a specific item? For a single activity? Or is it counted as another activity with double the effectiveness? Can both charges be invested in a single item?

One action with double effectiveness; you can invest two charges into one item.

The results of the latest combat tests didn't surprise Moriner too much – of course, he could have been more agile in the intellectual tasks, but in the end, there won't be time in battle to calculate and carefully consider all the options. However, for a first-year student, there was still no need to worry too much about it.
He decided to spend his free week training in magic and taking a walk around the city, for example, visiting Magnolia's shop.

Due to his personality, Marey had no desire to idly wander around the city, either alone or, even more so, in company, when that time could be devoted to the only truly important thing – magic. Although he had completed Astilbe's task, if he wanted to become a true sorcerer, not just a pathetic trickster, there should be no concept of a "completed program" for him; he should constantly improve his skills, never being satisfied with what he has achieved. Moreover, he was not as gifted as he would like to be, which tests repeatedly proved to him, so he should be twice as diligent, compensating for the limitations of his mind with hard work. Filled with such thoughts, Marey once again secluded himself in his room, surrounded by books. He perfected his first summoning spell, going so far as to meticulously plan the patterns on the wings of butterflies, working until what he envisioned was executed flawlessly and automatically. He especially enjoyed creating imps, "dead heads" – apparently, his gloomy character, acquired through a difficult life, and his habit of mocking popular superstitions had an effect; and spiders – under his control, they could create amazing webs, and also cleared his room of unwanted insects. Marey often chuckled to himself, thinking about how he could unleash bedbugs on someone's bed or let a spider crawl under the skirt of some nervous lady, but, of course, he did not carry out any of these pranks, at least not yet. Resting from practice, he delved into books. It was not easy to find suitable literature; there was almost no useful information for development, but he still managed to get from Astilbe the long-desired book about the magic of Tiaraal, and although he had the feeling that the Association was once again hiding the most interesting things from him behind an impenetrable veil of censorship, he spent the time with great pleasure and benefit; the information about the magic of foreign lands turned out to be very fascinating with its wild charm and originality. "In general, there is something in it that is better than our traditions. It's somehow more... Naive, natural. Wild, but attractive with its chaos, its primordial charm of true wonder, it probably reflects the very essence, the atmosphere of those lands, just as the dark arts of Reisen reflected the madness of the bloody era of civil war and the Shards."

Parfinora stood before the door of room #14, nervously wringing her hands. What if Imir refused? What if he now hated her too? Trying to push these thoughts aside, she knocked.
-Hello, Imir, she said, not even trying to hide the anxiety on her face. May I invite you for a short walk in the park? I would really like to spend some time with you.

Linnea’s mood was considerably dampened by the results of the physical and intellectual tests. She blamed herself for letting her high score on the history test make her relax and put in less effort than she could have. Tormented by these thoughts, the Reymi planned to dedicate the weekend to new training sessions. Before that, however, the girl planned to visit Ifeon, in case he was interested in joining her. But, on her way to the young man’s room, her plans underwent certain changes when she remembered the results of the history test again. By no means the worst of the students, Ifeon nevertheless received a not-so-impressive “C.” Therefore, before inviting him to another training session, Linnea was struck with the idea of offering her friend to improve his history skills. And if he refuses, then they can at least go for a run outdoors.

Xenomia finds Eli. -- Hi, I wanted to suggest that we go for a walk to a place in the city – the academy of martial arts. These guys don't use weapons, but I thought it would be interesting to learn how they do it! Can you imagine, in our time, when even swords are considered ineffective, there are people who choose such an incredibly difficult path! Maybe we will never fight with our fists, but I think we could learn from their incredible strength of spirit! At some point, Mia, however, was afraid that she was pushing too hard and hurried to correct herself: -- However, if you have other ideas, I will accept them... I heard there is a good weapon shop there, that's also important...

The road to the well-known shop in the capital of Camellon didn't take long, thanks to the academy's convenient location.
At the entrance to Magnolia's store, Moriner noticed a young woman with extraordinary beauty: her snow-white hair was braided into a braid, and her expressive eyes shone like gold, like the sun. However, despite these charming features and a figure that any woman would envy, she showed noticeable insecurity and unconcealed anxiety. Moriner's observations ended when a young man appeared from behind the store doors, holding a paper bag, presumably containing recently purchased goods. She immediately rushed towards him and first grabbed his sleeve, then his hand. After that, they disappeared into the crowd.

Moriner sees the following items in the store:

	Symbol of Furijia	The character can recite a healing prayer once a week for complete health restoration (saves from fatal wounds) for themselves or an ally.	3000
	Teachings of Daikyo	This symbol of followers of ancient Camellon teachings also comes with a book about their philosophy. Skills - Fundamentals of Perfection (1000) Endurance +200, Resistance +5, Willpower +5, Movement Points +5, Number of Actions +1. - Binding Flame (500) A talisman thrown by the character explodes and paralyzes opponents in an area of 1+1 for one turn. Resistance check against a value of 10.	6000
	Knight's Sign	+1 to charisma, +10% to accuracy.	5000
	Camellon Boots	+15% to dodge chance, +15 to attractiveness, only for female characters.	5000
	Statue of Decadence	By observing this statue in their room or house, the character realizes that they don't want to do anything, but sometimes they are drawn to rash (or overly thoughtful) actions because of which they sometimes find themselves in strange situations. -1 to event points, random event once a month.	3500
	Demon Frame	Something motivates the character to be more effective, even if it costs them sleep. +2 to event points, +50% to learning speed.	10000
	Figurine of an Unnamed God	Upon first use of this item, the character receives a random luck stat (from F to S), which determines the subsequent effect.	800
	Sign of the Outcast	Damage +50% Self-damage +50%	2000

Well, Moriner, you know what to do.

Parfinora stood before the door of room #14, nervously wringing her hands. What if Iмир refuses? What if he hates her now too? Trying to push all these thoughts aside, she knocked.
-Hello, Iмир - she greeted him, not even trying to hide the anxiety on her face - may I invite you for a short walk in the park? I would really like to spend some time with you.

— Uh, are you sure you have the right room?.. — Iмир nervously scratched the back of his head and looked away. — Ha-ha... Sorry. Yes, of course, I'd be happy to keep you company.

Something motivates the character to be more effective, even if it means sacrificing sleep.

I remember leveling up in my sleep.

And with Daikyo, is it like - you read a book for action points and gain experience for their skills?

You spend an event and get bonus experience, that is, like regular lectures, only as a separate "item."

The results of the physical and intellectual tests significantly spoiled Linnea's mood. She blamed herself for the high score on the history test, which made her relax and put in less effort than she could have. Tormented by these thoughts, the Reymian intended to devote the weekend to new training. Before that, however, the girl planned to visit Ifeon, in case he was interested in joining her. But on the way to the young man's room, her plans underwent certain changes when she remembered the results of the history test again. By no means the worst of the students, Ifeon, nevertheless, received a not-so-impressive "C." Therefore, before inviting him to another training session, Linnea was struck with the idea of offering her friend to improve his knowledge of history. And if he refuses, then they can go for a run outdoors.

— To be honest, history doesn't interest me. I was interested in it when I was a little younger, but over time I realized that it's not my thing. There's just too much tragedy and negativity in it, even more than in fiction with a similar focus. I studied just enough for the test to get a satisfactory grade, so I wouldn't want to spend any more time on this subject. But I'm always happy to train.

Bertrand decided to spend his free time practicing weapon skills, as he was a bit behind in that area. After that, he planned to relax and unwind, but he didn't want to go anywhere alone, so the elf decided to invite someone to join him. He didn't have many acquaintances at the academy, so he chose a good-looking young man from the province.
- Hey, Berwang, - De'Lart greeted his classmate. - How are you doing? Would you like to go for a walk and go to the circus with me, since it's a free week? Afterwards, we could eat something of your choice, what do you say? Or would you prefer to go somewhere else?

Xenomia finds Eli.
-- Hi, I wanted to suggest we go to a place in the city – the martial arts academy. These guys don't use weapons, but I thought it would be interesting to see how they do it! Can you imagine, in our time, when even swords are considered ineffective, there are people who choose such an incredibly difficult path! Maybe we'll never start fighting with our fists, but I think we could learn from their incredible strength of spirit!
At some point, Mia, however, was afraid that she was being too pushy and quickly corrected herself:
-- However, if you have other ideas, I'm open to them... I heard there's a good weapons shop there, and that's important too...

— Are you being silly, Mia? — Eli asked innocently. — That's the whole point of unarmed combat, because you have a weapon, but no one can take it away from you, and you can carry it with you everywhere! But no, I'm not interested in people, and I don't want to watch them. But a weapons shop sounds interesting, but if it's M&O, I've already seen everything there, and Anelotta still refuses to tell me about the new items...

— Um, did you perhaps mistake the room?... — Imir nervously scratched the back of his head and looked away. — Ha-ha... Sorry. Yes, of course, I'd be happy to keep you company.

-Thank you so much.
For some time, Parfinora walked silently through the park next to Imir, with a dejected expression on her face. After a while, she began to speak:
-You have no idea how terrible I feel. Everyone avoids me, gives me sidelong glances. They blame me for Romeo and Yaspis being expelled from the academy. But what could I do? I was chosen as class president. I am obligated to ensure that the academy's rules are followed. It's my duty. Could I have acted any differently? So why all this hatred towards me? - Parfinora's voice was relatively firm, but it was clear from her face that she was struggling.
