Ikigai is the philosophy of finding and living your reason for being. At your center of your profession, passion, mission, and vocation is your ikigai.
With this philosophy, the more points you invest in a single skill, and in an individual skill tree (skills related by pre-requisite), you will gain an additional bonus to all those skills.
Additionally, skills that you use on yourself have a 50% longer duration.
A sarira left behind by an Ikigai Mystic will give a bonus to the skill tree that the bearer has the most points assigned in.
