====== TRACE Magick (Skill Tree) ======

{{::tracemagick.png?nolink&600|}}

**TRACE Magick** is a magic [[skills|skill tree]] which functions as the starting point for a character's magical aptitude, serving as both a prerequisite for all other magical skill trees and possessing a number of skills important to nearly every character build.

===== List of Skills =====

Unlocking every node in the tree costs 126 (+Shunpo) SP with an additional 38 (+Shunpo) SP required for maxing skill levels resulting in a total cost of 164 SP (+Shunpo).

<sup>Where possible, skill lists will try to emulate the shape and flow of the in-game skill tree to ensure optimal readability, however this will not always be possible due to the shapes or interconnectivity possessed by some trees.</sup>
