Training System
In the World of Vala system, spells and techniques are learned through a training system. Characters can devote hours to learning their chosen spell, technique, or magicrafting component. The number of hours needed to master a spell or technique is decided by the tier of the talent. Characters cannot exceed 15 hours of training in one day.
The tiered training system can also be applied to increase both skills, weapon mastery, and mana control. Beginning at Tier 0, characters have no additional modifiers to skills, roll at a disadvantage when using the selected weapon, and have no general control of mana output. Training these follows the chart for to add +1 until tier 3. After tier three, each additional +1 only costs 720 hours each. Mana control goes up by ten percent each time.
