>>1556834it was more complicated like that (I also played it), you required points to increase a skill (I guess as a cap) and you didn't just level the skills up by just using them, but doing certain "requirements" like "if you wanna increase the rank of the fireball spell, you need to attack 5 STRONG enemies at once" and this STRONG thing depended on combat power which also increased if you ranked your skills, so if a rat was strong, and you decided to increase X skill, it added "combat power" to your character and made the rat into weak or something (it had numerical values you couldn't actually see), for me this really became annoying and being an mmo, had a really toxic community when I played it.
>>1556831even in the kumo novel, the spider did the same because of this, she kept casting elemental attacks on herself until it became something she did unconsciously to increase her own resistances, until she became immune or something like that.
>>1556827I already passed that game like more than 10 years ago (my ds got stolen but I already finished it before that), it was fun, the only thing I didn't like was that my favorite girl was the dragon but wasn't a marriage candidate.
