The rest of the pet skills don't interest me right now, I don't need to take the skill to increase the number of available pets until the system refuses to allow to. I may as well try and find a third now that I have the faster pet growing skill, presumably I won't be able to level it up unless I gain a new pet.

At that time perhaps the system will refuse to allow me reconstitute a monster and I can easily pick up the skill then. For now, let's look about and see what other skills I can find.

Scrolling through the menus takes a significant amount of time. They don't seem to be organised in a properly logical way, with movement skills mixed with mental skill and magical skills sometimes tucked away amongst physical ones. It's almost as if you need to know what you're looking for and where to find it ahead of time, otherwise your only choice is to trawl through the lists checking every entry until you find something you like.

Which is exactly what I'm doing right now. And it sucks!

This one? No…

How about..? No…

Hmmmm….. No…

Who would want to get better at that anyway?!

Madness!

There has to be some juicy new skills here somewhere. I need to look a little more carefully. I remember when the skill list had only five options on it. I don't know how, I don't know why but that has ballooned out to over one hundred at this point. I'm not sure exactly what causes the skills to become unlocked… there must be some sort of prerequisite that needs to be met. Perhaps with stats… or even actions in the world?

For example the pet skills. I don't exactly frequently check the skill list but they didn't appear until after I had reconstituted my first pet. I didn't go looking for them until after I'd met Formo the Sophos but it stands to reason that they were unlocked somehow.

means that other skills must also have prerequisites before they become available. I suppose that humans and civilisations like the Sophos would have had hundreds of years
