>You decide to make for the mountain after taking off....
~Intermezzo~To liven things up, and put more things in the hands of the players, I've chosen to change how improving skills and status works.
Well, except for getting better at Wildcard and Wildcard Weapon that is.
So from here on, at certain points in the story, you, the players, will have a chance to spend Skill Points, here at the Intermezzo Screen, to improve on your own existing skills, and obtain some skills that you could feasibly figure out on your own.
Although, to learn some skills, you'll need more than just SP. Some might need a specific item, while others might require a certain other skill, while others still might require knowing a certain person, or even facing them in combat for a chance to add a skill they have to your own list.
You can only increase your Mana Count directly though, as Youkai Fortitude dictates your Health.
Right now, thanks to recent events, you have 140 SP. And by completing quests, sidequests, and at certain story points, you'll get more of these.
For some skills, you will end up altering future events somewhat, to allow for obtaining that skill.
Your available options are as follows.
-Skill Upgrading-
Catlike Tread E -> Catlike Tread D = 30SP
Confusion Resistance E -> Confusion Resistance D : 15SP
Sense Presence Novice -> Sense Presence E : 25SP
Youkai Fortitude D -> Youkai Fortitude C : 70SP
Youkai Strength D -> Youkai Strength C : 70SP
Danmaku Mastery C - Danmaku Mastery B : 120SP
