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

^ __Skill__ ^ __Prerequisites__ ^ __SP Cost__ ^ __Levels__ ^ __Description__ ^
| **[[The Darkness]]** | [[LORE CENSOR]] | 1 SP | None | The every darkness that once filled you with hate and hunger, now fills you with power. Your humanity, has it gone or has it returned? You have become ALTERED. |
| **[[Consume]]** | The Darkness | 3 SP | None | Feast upon the energy within the very soul of your target, harvesting their energy for your own gain. |
| **[[Absolve]]** | The Darkness | 3 SP | None | Dissolve the TRACE found in a nearby corpse, trapping the residual soul within a shard. A necessary evil that weighs upon the spirit of the one who performs it. |
| **[[Resolve]]** | The Darkness | 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." |
| <sub>(Upper Branch)</sub> |
| **[[Zero]]** | The Darkness | 3 SP | None | **PRIORTY MOVE** 5 Range: Concentrate a dense point of TRACE to your fingertip, resulting in a terrible blast of energy. | **Dark Magic: Using this forbidden magic will lower your Humanity.** |
| **[[Requiem]]** | Zero, Voidshroud | 6 SP | None | **PRIORITY MOVE** 8 Range: The final form of "Zero."

| <sub>(Center Branch)</sub> |
| **[[The Order]]** | The Darkness | 10 SP | None | The Order has always stood for justice, servitude, and righteousness. You feel immense power from the TRACE slipstream, but... mixed with the strength of the Paranomoly, what have you become? |
| **[[Voidshroud]]** | The Order | 10 SP | 3 | Call upon the Paranomoly, wrapping yourself in a shroud of darkness that greatly increases your overall power. | **Restores health to full on activation.** |
