Auto-Attack
A skill that controls the user's body and allows them to automatically target a monster and attempt to basic attack. Auto-attack will do a constant chain of attacks so that the total DPS is roughly the same as dealing minor damage once a second. For example, a heavy weapon will do slower but stronger attacks, while a player wielding two daggers will do faster, less damaging attacks.
Any skills or movements that the user may manually perform will take priority over this skill, but the system will generally try to aim for an accurate hit.
It was a staple among players in the original Gaia Reborn game, but since the Apocalypse, its use has taken a drastic drop. Manual basic attacks allow for much more fluid and precise control of attacks, and as such, the skill has barely been used by Adventurers since then. It does, however, allow for people who are not proficient with their weapon of choice to be able to reliably hit their target.
Passively, the player can also delay their next attack to increase the basic attack’s power by performing what’s known as an “empowered attack”. Each second used to charge an attack increases the damage dealt by 20%, up to a maximum of 100% at 5 seconds.
Toggle, No cooldown. No cost.

Roads to Romalia
A skill that can be found prominently on the player’s interface. Roads to Romalia allows a player to teleport back to Romalia from any city or town with a cathedral. Activating it causes the user to channel for five seconds, restricting them from doing anything until this cast time is done. If they choose to make any other action or are hit by an attack, Roads to Romalia is interrupted and put on a 1 minute cooldown. Because teleporting in this way to one’s home city essentially breaks them down into raw energy, it is extremely taxing to players after the Apocalypse, and repeated use in a short span can inflict mental and physical strains.
5s cast time, No cooldown. No cost.

Interface Control
Even after the Apocalypse, players have kept the ability to use their interfaces. When mentally called upon, the interface hovers slightly in front of them, visible only to themselves and is slightly transparent. It can be interacted with by touch of the fingertips or mentally. The interface allows players to access their party list, friend list, guild settings, crafting list and many other menus. Friend invites can only be sent in a face-to-face meeting, and the same goes for party invites. However, a friend can be added to a party regardless of where they are. Additionally, an Adventurer can talk to friends or party members through telepathy, by pressing one finger to their ear after dialing them. This causes words said to be spoken into their mind rather than out loud.
Passive.

Poker Gauge
A Duelist can passively see enemies as only they can, and perceive a thin yellow bar under an enemy’s hp; their Chip Stack. A Chip Stack is equal to 1/5th the amount of the creature’s maximum health. All damage the Duelist deals to an enemy’s health bar is also dealt to their Chip Stack. Chip Stack does not benefit from the enemy’s Defense stats. When it is reduced to zero, the enemy Folds for 10s, granting the Duelist a strong increase critical hit chance on them. After that duration, their Chip Stack is restored to full and increases by 1/5th of the target’s maximum health.
Passive skill.

Ambidexterity Prime
While dual-wielding a one-handed weapon in the offhand, the user no longer incurs a 50% accuracy penalty to their one-handed weapons. While many Duelists are known to dual-wield due to getting Ambidextry Prime, some opt for sword-and-shield or sword-and-magic.
Passive skill.

- Rank I -

Viper Raise:
An attack that targets the arm tendons. A successful hit will deal average damage and result in a minor Bleed for 10s, and Snakebitten for the same duration, which deals minor damage to the target every time they use a Skill. This is accommodated by the wound area seeping out a constant trail of blood. Also, for the next 10 seconds, the target suffers a minor Attack Speed Down due to the pain associated with moving the arms.
2s animation time, 20s cooldown. Average mana cost.

Discard:
A technique designed to reduce aggro for the Duelist. As soon as the opponent draws within 3 meter, the Duelist performs a somersault over the target's head, then uses the blunt edge of the weapon to deal minor damage and spin the opponent sideways. This sudden disorientation causes the enemy’s Aggro on the Duelist to halve, and inflicts a low 5s Accuracy Down.
1.5s animation time, 15s cooldown. Average mana cost.

Lightfly:
Summon a Lightfly - a floating ball of arcane light - next to the user’s shoulder, draining mana until dismissed. The Lightfly’s color and appearance are customisable with rare skins that can be found in chests or from quests, but by default, it will be spherical and glow yellow. By default, the Lightfly will decently illuminate its surroundings in a 5m radius but may be toggled to instead project a beam of more powerful light that reaches up to 15m in a single direction.
2s cast time, no cooldown. Very minor mana drain.

Long Blade:
A basic attack that encases the user’s weapon in red aura, elongating it and effectively doubling its reach. This aura cuts, bashes or pierces just as the rest of the weapon would. Has no effect on ranged or throwing weapons.
1s animation time, 10s cooldown. Low mana cost.

Forward Stride:
The user steps forward and stabs with their melee weapon, dealing below-average damage. This stab will fire a small dart-shaped aura projectile up to 10m, dealing minor damage point-blank, strengthening up to below-average at max range. Proper use of this skill allows melee classes to hit hard-to-reach weak points or knock over faraway objects.
1.5s animation time, 20s cooldown. Low mana cost.

Heart of Heroes
The Alvs are known for their fierce courage and bravery, their wills allowing them to keep fighting in the face of despair. Passively, they recover from any status effect which impairs their actions 2 seconds faster, to a minimum of 1 second. Bind, Blind, Charm, Confuse, Daze, Fear, Paralysis, Petrify, Silence, Sleep, Stagger, Stun, Terror, and Topple are considered to be such status effects. Additionally, once every 10 minutes, they may instantly cancel a single action impairing status effect inflicted upon them.

Fungal Healing
The Alvs of the Fungal Forest to the south believe in the interconnectedness of all living things, just as the roots of the fungal trees are bound together into one living entity. Their lifetimes in symbiosis with the forest have brought fruit to this belief in an unusual way. These Alvs are born with spores in their blood which feed off of an insignificant portion of the nutrients taken in while granting the Alvs benefits of their own. Outside of combat, Fungal Alv’s passive health regeneration is massively increased. The effects of toxins are also halved against Fungal Alvs and they can also grant their increased health regeneration to an ally for as long as they remain in physical contact, however they can only do this five times per day as it is very stressful on their spores to be in another host's body.

Uncompromising Anatomy
Though their strength of will is immense, and their bodies can be trained into pristine weapons, the resilience of the Alvs comes at a cost. Their bodies' fortitude against the outside world makes it so all buffs received are reduced in duration by 10%.

Drug Mastery
A lifetime of quaffing tonics, sipping potions and handling venoms has steeled the Pharmacist’s veins. Passively, they are healed by an extra 15% from any forms of non-magical healing. Debuffs inflicted on them from any form of poison or venom are reduced by 5s, but not below 5s.
Passive skill.

Basic Equestrian
The Cavalier obtains a Horse Whistle from the beginning in order to summon their very own steed. They can choose the appearance of their steed when it is first summoned. While still new, this steed will carry their master and luggage and give them affectionate nuzzles but will flee and desummon itself when attacked or if their master enters combat.
2s cast time, No cooldown, 30m cooldown if desummoned. Low mana cost
