Referring back to the intentions of the game, players have many ways to customise their character’s abilities, such as: levelling a skill to rank 3 or above to customise what it does, performing freeform magic ceremonies, creating new spells and masteries, making magic items or equipment, and so on.
When trying to decide what you want your abilities to do, we recommend looking at your character’s play style and asking for an ability that suits your theme, rather than picking a specific mechanic, unless you have one in mind. The game team will support you in the creation of any custom abilities, ensuring that they both are enjoyable to play with and fit within the game world.
We have created some examples to help you understand what you can ask for:
