Skills

There are 4 different types of skills in Shintolin. To acquire a skill one must spend XP of the same type. The exact amount of XP increases with the number of skills of the same type one has already acquired. Skills can be forgotten, but only once the level cap is reached. No experience is given if a skill is forgotten.
