So, these are skills in my game, The Crystallized Crown.
How does this system actually work? So, each weapon has an attacking move with no effect attached, e.g. Slash. Weapons also have a buffing move, e.g. Block, which raises Defence. The player can also learn one spell, e.g. Tremor. Lastly, everyone has a skill from their tribe. I'm part of the Dwarves, so I can resist debuffs with my skill.
