Skills are special abilities that change how a character functions in Slasher's Keep. Many have effects that improve damage output, while others have utilitarian uses like reducing item prices.

Acquisition
Skills are obtained in one of five ways:


 * Attached to equipment
 * Randomly granted upon level up
 * Randomly rewarded from quests
 * Randomly gifted by the Demon Shrine
 * Result of reading a scroll

Skills attached to equipment are temporary, leaving the character once the item carrying the skill is unequipped. Skills randomly obtained by leveling up, as quest rewards, or from the Demon Shrine only persist with a character for the run they are obtained on; upon death, these skills are lost.

Only by spending skill points earned by leveling up to "permalearn" (permanently lean) can a character keep skills through a death. In order to permalearn a skill, a character must have at least one level of the skill in their skill book (from the three methods of obtaining skills listed above). Once a level of a skill has been permalearned at least once, a character may continue spending points on it to permanently increase its base level without needing to acquire it randomly or from equipment.

Red Skills
These probably need a different name, but red skills are rare to find, powerful, and cannot be permalearned.
