===== List of skills =====

^ __Skill__ ^ __Prerequisites__ ^ __SP Cost__ ^ __Levels__ ^ __Description__ ^
| **[[Initiate]]** | [[TRACE Magick]] | 10 SP | None | You have taken your first oath with The Nameless. Your old life fades behind you. | **Grants +10% TRACE & +5% Damage.** |
| <sub>(Upper Branch)</sub> |
| **[[Resolve]]** | Initiate | 3 SP | None | Dissolve the TRACE found in a nearby corpse, pulling that power into yourself. The selfish consumption of another's essence carries a heavier toll on the soul than "Absolve." |
| **[[Transference]]** | Acolyte, Resolve | 5 SP | 3 |4 Range: Sacrifice 25% of your current health to heal a nearby ally for 30%(+5% per level) of your max health. You give yourself so that others may endure. This is the way of The Nameless. | **Effects: Heal ally for X HP / Self-cost: X HP** |
| **[[Martyrdom]]** | Transference | 7 SP | None |4 Range: Bind your fate to a nearby ally for 3 turns. 40% of all damage they receive is redirected to you as pure, unreducible damage. Pain is just a reminder that you still serve a purpose. | **Effects: Link to ally, 40% of their damage redirected to you as pure damage (3 turns)** |
| **[[The Unwritten]]** | Exemplar, Martyrdom | 8 SP | 3 | Your story is not yet written. Every soul you lay to rest adds another chapter to a tale only you remember. | **Per level:(1) Resolve costs no energy. (2) Resolve also restores 15% of your max sanity. (3) Resolve also restores 15% of your max health.** |
| <sub>(Center Branch)</sub> |
| **[[Acolyte]]** | Initiate | 10 SP | None | Your sacrifice and silence have deepened your bond with the slipstream. | **Grants +10% TRACE & +10% Speed.** |
| **[[Rite of Erasure]]** | Acolyte, Resolve | 12 SP | 3 | You have undergone the sacred Rite, severing your name from the memory of the world. | **Per Level: Sanity loss from all non-sleep sources is reduced by 15/25/40%. At level 3, when below 50% HP in battle, deal 10% bonus damage.** |
| **[[Exemplar]]** | Rite of Erasure | 10 SP | None | The standard by which all others in The Nameless are measured. | **Grants +10% Vitality, +10% TRACE, & +5% Intellect.** |
| **[[Ascendant]]** | Exemplar | 15 SP | None | You have transcended the philosophy that shackled the "Tracer Order." The slipstream yields to you completely. | **Grants +15% TRACE, +10% Damage, & +5% Intellect.** |
| <sub>(Lower Branch)</sub> |
| **[[Sever]]** | Initiate | 4 SP | 3 |4 Range: Reach into the slipstream and sever your target's connection to it. Silences them for 1 turn(+1 per level) and drains 2 TRACE per level. A technique forbidden by the "Tracer Order." Perfected by The Nameless. | **Effect: Silence (2 Turns) / Drains 2 TRACE.** |
| **[[Null Field]]** | Sever | 6 SP | 3 |3 Range: Emanate a pulse of anti-TRACE energy that purges a wide area. All enemies caught in the blast are suppressed for 2 turns and suffer reduced magical defenses. Those severed from the slipstream are nothing but prey. | **Effects: Suppress targets (2 turns, +25% damage taken) / -X M. DMG. Reduction (2 turns)** |
| **[[Hollow Resonance]]** | Null Field | 5 SP | 4 | Your strikes resonate with terrible purpose against those already weakened. | **Per Level: Deal 8% bonus damage to targets afflicted by any debuff or negative effect. (Silence, Suppressed, Stat Debuffs, Etc.)** |
| **[[Unmake]]** | Exemplar, Hollow Resonance | 8 SP | 3 |1 Range: Channel the annihilating force of "Resolution" into a single devastating strike. Deals magical damage that ignores a portion of magical defense. | **For each distinct affliction on the target (Max 3), consume it and deal 12% bonus damage. At level 3, also drains 1 TRACE per affliction consumed.** |
| <sub>(Capstone Skill)</sub> |
| **[[Shadow Walk]]** | Ascendant | 15 SP | None | Tear a rift between planes and dissolve into the dark river, reforming at the same location in the "Shattered World" or the "Material Plane." The boundary between worlds is thin for those who have walked beyond their names. |
