II. Rare: those that can only be used with a particular element

III. Unique: those that are common by nature but are hard to come by

• Skills are "graded" according to realm--meaning a skill scroll with sage grade can only be learned by a sage cultivator, and so on

• sample terminology of a skill: "common class expert grade"

Guidelines in Cultivation:

Elemental attribute is basically used in infusion of the element in the weapon (basic usage)

Some skills require specific element (secondary usage of elemental attribute)

A skill can be learned only upon entering a "stage" in cultivation using a skill scroll. (thus, an expert realm cultivator can have a maximum of 3 skills)
