Skills

Megumin's Adventurer Card.

Kazuma's Adventurer Card.

Skills (スキル) are various abilities that an adventurer can learn through their Adventurer Card.

Overview

Skills are any number of abilities learned by spending skill points on empty skills displayed on one's Adventurer Card.

Skills can raise proficiency or teach how to perform a specific ability, as well as produce specific phenomenons by using magic. The effectiveness is based on the user's stats and class, as well their affinity with said skill. Someone who dislikes water or have some trauma with it will need more skill points or may never learn water-based skills.

Those skills are divided in brands, with specific skills that can only be learned by a specific class type, although there are some general skills that can be learned by anyone (like Party Tricks). However the Adventurer-Class has the ability of learn any brand skill (but spending more points in it and none of them as effective as a specialized class). The skills aren't just for fighter jobs, as they cover all type of professions, like Smithing and Cook.

Every class has specific stats, that increases according to their field. For this reason, the Adventurer-Class isn't effective as a specialized class, since their stats don't increase that much and at the same level to each one, instead of just the required ones to use each skill brand. Advanced classes are the ones that possess better stats, so their skills are the most powerful and effective ones.

Skill Points

People are usually born with some skill points, based on their talent. In order to obtain more skill points, the said people must obtain experience points, or XP, which is a portion of other creature's memories and soul. The more powerful the creature, the more XP they offer. Once the person obtains enough XP, they will suddenly and dramatically grow in their abilities, a phenomenon called "leveling up". After the level up, the person will obtain one skill point which they can use to obtain new skills.

It is also possible to farm skill points by having someone else immobilize a monster in order to kill it easily. People can also get skill points by using Skill-Up potions, produced with rare materials, or eating food rich in XP. There are also rare monsters called Duxions, which are weak, but raise ones level and give two skill points once it is killed.

There is no known way to unlearn skills and refund their skill points. Therefore, some people prefer not learn some basic skills of their class in order to get a more powerful one, like most Wizards skip Basic Magic in order to learn Intermediate Magic sooner. Some adventures also seek specific, but expensive skills, like Explosion Magic. Usually most adventurers learn all their required skills once they become Veterans (level above 30).

Aside of getting new skills, it is also possible to spend the skill points in order to enhance an already learned skill.
