Attuning

Overview

This skill is taught by Shalothma Gaikini. You must be in the same room as Shalothma to begin the training. Shalothma appears in different cities around the realm. One of which is Vagla.

To begin training the skill of Attuning, the 'study Shalothma' command is used. It costs 10 lessons to advance your attuning, and it may take numerous sessions to develop a new power, depending on your previous attuning. The player's base skill makeup will also affect how many sessions it will take to develop a new power.

Shalothma describes the skill as: a power deep within each of us which can be brought out with time, patience and plenty of study. Where your body and spirit can merge into the magical energies which flow throughout the world and all other worlds created by the Creator. The range and type of powers you can gain from attuning depends on the person you are.

The commune Shalothma comes from rates levels of attuning in terms of animals, the larger the animal the greater the level of attuning. This ranking is given to you by Shalothma. It may take several training sessions to advance to a new type of animal. An example of a rank is 'pony'. The highest rank is Dragon, and you will gain Dragon levels every time you attune beyond the first 100 lessons once you hit Dragon.

You can check your Attuning rank and skills by using the command: 'attuning status'
