no info on what significant means yet but this is what they needed to do to keep new people coming in.

* Rigor

I don't play the game, have no clue what the skills system is like, and I'm pretty clueless about DF in general...

However.

I like this skill.

Re: A Step in the Right Direction

I worked on 3 earth magic buffs last night and noticed no difference in skill gain

I'll try tonight with damage spells and maybe some debuffs and see if anything was actually changed...

That being said, meditation seems WAY cheaper now. 90k to go from 1 water magic to 100. Also I think it was only like 20k gold to take my Reflex skill from 44 to 100? This might actually be a viable alternative now for constitution/reflex/etc. skills that are a pain in the ass to raise.
