I finally decided to post what I had in mind regarding skills and abilities, but unfortunately only in the version 5/18. I didn't have time to finish the rest due to a lack of time. So expect a continuation soon. Dark Magic - Dark Magic Destructive Magic - Destruction Magic Defense - Defense Leadership - Leadership Learning - Learning Otherwise, my work has been gathering dust on my hard drive for a week now, and I just haven't had time to finish it :( – so let at least what I’ve done be available. We will naturally discuss the material in these topics: /topic/42/ /topic/189/
