ITEM ONLY SKILLS
Aside from the regular character skills, Median XL features a variety of item-only skills. Some are so powerful and devastating that the human mind cannot learn or comprehend them. Others were abandoned in favour of new and stronger magic, but are still useful for adventurers looking for a solution to a particular problem.
Some of these can be cast much like regular skills when you equip the item that grants the skill. Others are triggered by items. Either way, these skills enable you to create a character like no other!
Spell scaling Item-only elemental spells gain a damage bonus from energy, just like regular elemental spells.
CASTABLE SKILLS
Which class do I need?
The icons tell you which classes can get the skill as oskill (eg. +4 to Flash), allowing you to cast the skill like a regular character skill.
Other classes may be able to get the skill as charges on an item or as a chance to cast skill.
