Wisdom dictates that force is not always necessary. In some
instances, you may be able to defeat an enemy with your words
alone. To improve a conversation skill, increase your primary
abilities (see pg. 12) or equip special essence gems (see pg. 21).

Leveling Up
As you gain Experience Points (XP), you may increase your skills
as you see fi t. But as a mighty bear is humbled by a pack of
cunning wolves, so too is a powerful warrior bested when he
exercises his body alone. Balance is key in all things.
Experience Points
You earn XP by defeating enemies in combat,
completing quests, and for being skillful in certain
conversations. When you have enough XP to gain
a level, you gain a number of Ability Points and
Style Points that you can spend to make your character more
powerful. Watch for the arrow icon that appears each time your
level increases.
Ability Points and Style Points
When you reach certain experience levels, you
earn both Ability Points and Style Points. Press
>
to go to the in-game menu. Spend new
Ability Points on your
Character Record
screen,
and spend new Style Points on your
Styles
screen. (Pull
l
or
r
to scroll through
the screens.) Note that after you fi nalize
your choices, you will not be able to
change them.
Increasing Focus
Weapon styles and Focus mode
are extremely powerful, but they
use up Focus quickly. If you
like to use these abilities in
combat, increase your Mind
when you gain a level.
