  • Skill Levels: Set skills to have 5, 10, or even 100 levels.
  • Per-Level Rewards: Define unique attribute modifiers that upgrade exactly how you want at every tier.

🛡️ Equipment Imbuing System & Combining Skill Tomes

Take your skills beyond the menu and onto your character's gear!

  • Imbuement Slots: Items can support up to 3 unique skill slots, unlocked via the Sigil of Imbuement.
  • Vanilla Enchantment Style Progression: This allows the player to upgrade tomes in a vanilla fashion meaning you can take two of the same tome to obtain the next level of a skill or find it. your call!

📿 Curios & Skill Charms

Fully integrated with the Curios API:

  • Skill Charms: Wearable accessories that provide skill bonuses in dedicated "Skill Charm" slots.
  • Instant Activation: Equipping a charm applies its bonuses immediately so i recommend you use these for attributes since those are more dynamic, eventually there will be a new field that wil ltrigger rewards on unequip meaning that you can run commands that can, "remove powers - a.k.a. origins remove power via a command"
