Skills

Skills are addons to Abilities which come as a result of Seasoning. Each skill is a direction to improve an ability and given enough seasoning, can be bought by the user willing the seasoning to be placed into a certain skill. The skills themselves are fragments of souls, empowered through yoki. Adding on skills changes the body and improves it, although skills alone, with no techniques to properly use them, are quite worthless and ineffective. Skills can be thought of as patches, patching in small improvements and covering weaknesses in an ability, becoming part of an ability and making it stronger. Skills are always related to the ability they improve in some way. Skills can be stolen, copied, or shared via Soul Link. Skills can be made from copying an ability as well.

Skills can be passive or active. Passive techniques require no "authority" and can be used mindlessly by reflex. Active skills require mindful thought to use and control and generally need a technique to be used properly.

Skills are not necessarily unique to each being, and the same skill can be found between 2 or more different beings without Soul Links. For example, every Ghost being always has the Blink skill.

Examples of Skills:
 * Desiree's bloodlust related skills (blood shield, blood eye, etc)
 * Faith's chained whips
 * Body purification (passive)
 * Blink (similar to short-range instant teleportation)
 * Charm (Makes targets trusting of the user and can fundamentally change one's alliances and beliefs)
