Talent

Talents are abilities (either active or passive) associated with the various books. For example, the book of the fire mage contains the fire ball, fire attunement, summon oil, mental fortitude, orb of fire and energy conservation talents. All classes start with the first talent of their respective book unlocked and further talents may be unlocked with talent points in the character screen, providing that the character has a sufficiently high ranking in the related skill (for example, fire attunement requires a fire magic skill of 2, while mental fortitude requires a focus of 4). An additional talent point is gained every third level (i.e. on achieving level three, level six, level nine, etc.).
