Skill Dictionary

[Ravn Hårstad]

This section of the Guidebook contains all the information related to skills and how their names are constructed.

o The element of Fire is represented by the term “Eld“.
o The element of Water is represented by the term “Van“.
o The element of Air is represented by the term “Vind“.
o The element of Earth is represented by the term “Jor“.
o The element of Light is represented by the term “Sol“.
o The element of Darkness is represented by the term “Murk“.

Every skill or attack belongs to one of these elemental groups. Even basic attacks from a player’s weapon are influenced by the weapon itself (among other factors). Skills themselves are further constructed with the following terms:

o Small, single-target skills are represented by the term “Fam“.
o Medium, single-target skills are represented by the term “Ent“.
o Large, single-target skills are represented by the term “Gar“.

o Small Area-of-Effect skills are represented by the term “Ilfa“.
o Medium Area-of-Effect skills are represented by the term “Nori“.
o Large Area-of-Effect skills are represented by the term “Alma“.

With the exception of Limited or Unique skills, every skill in The World: Overland can be constructed with these terms. For example, “Jor Fam” will cast stones as a single foe, while “Eld Alma” will devastate all foes in a battle with overwhelming conflagration.

Limited Skills are rare and do not follow the target terms as outlined above. While they still have an elemental association, Limited Skills tend to use terms that more specifically describe their function. These skills are usually unlocked as a reward for certain quests or events, or for fulfilling some condition.

Unique Skills, like Limited Skills, are rare and do not follow the target terms convention outlined above. These skills tend to be a fair bit more powerful or useful than even Limited Skills. Only one player will ever possess a given Unique Skill at any time.
