System Change

Passive

Cost: 1 Skill Point

Derek looked at Thorns, then he did a double take. That says passive. That Void Beast probably would have killed itself if I would have had that ability. After confirming the ability, Derek was very interested in it.

Transfer Damage

Cast this upon an ally to transfer the damage they receive onto yourself. The higher the level, the more damage you can transfer.

Cost: 1 Skill Point

Ooh, I could save so many people… Nope. Not my kind of skill. After thinking, Derek was considering either Thorns or Magic Resistance. Ah man, both are perfect for me. Thorns would add a ton to my offense, but Magic Resistance would increase my survivability by so much. Finally, Derek came to a conclusion. I sure do hope Im able to choose more of these later.

Would you like to learn Magic Resistance?

Yes.

Magic Resistance Learned Successfully.

Skill Points Remaining: 4

Derek felt the familiar feeling of learning a skill, but not much after. What would I expect? Its a defensive passive. I wonder if Harden or Stoneskin would have combined with my old Impenetrable Skin skill. Oh well, I need magic defense. With his new defensive skill learned, he looked at the restorative skills.

Current Available Skill Points: 4

Note: One skill point is required to unlock any of the skills below. If you do not have any skill points, you may choose to unlock a skill at a later date.

Available Restorative Skills

Cure

Heal

Life Leech

Rejuvenation

Remove Curse

Wait, why are there only five skills on this list. Derek sighed. Stingy system. Derek looked through the list. How is Life Leech a restorative skill? Damn, all of these skills seem too basic. Derek frowned, he wanted a skill that combined well with his fighting style, but he didnt like how basic the skills were. I guess the defensive skills were kind of basic too, but they fit well with me.

Derek first ruled out Cure. Only cures poison, waste of a skill. Dont need Remove Curse either. Finally, after a bit of thinking, he crossed Heal off of his list. Too much mana for not enough healing. After that, he was left with Life Leech and Rejuvenation.

Life Leech

After casting on a user, a percent of any damage dealt will be returned to the user as health. The higher the level, the more health will be returned, the longer the spell will last, and the less mana it will cost.

2% Damage Returned as Health

Skill Lasts 30 Seconds

Costs 250 Mana

Cooldown: 5 Minutes

Cost: 1 Skill Point

Maybe. Derek looked at Rejuvenation.

Rejuvenation

After casting on a user, user will receive a percentage of health restored over a set period of time. The higher the level, the higher the recovery and less cost.

5% HP Recovered Over 30 Second

Costs 250 Mana

Cooldown: 5 Minutes

Cost: 1 Skill Point

Derek really wanted to get Life Leech, but he could see how Rejuvenation could become extremely powerful after leveling up. This decision was harder than his previous one. Well, either skill is better than none. What really made his decision for him was the percent heal from Rejuvenation.

Would you like to learn Rejuvenation?

Yes.

Rejuvenation Learned Successfully.

Skill Points Remaining: 3

I hope I dont regret this. Derek started thinking about how he would level his new skills up. Rejuvenation should be easy, but I need to find a monster that uses magic to help me level up my resistance. Hmm… Maybe the kid will get a Sorcerer class or something.

With all of that settled, Derek viewed his new status sheet.
