Expertise

Expertise is game's core character advancement system. While raising levels gives you more attribute points, it is by raising expertise that your character learns new abilities.

Expertises raise by using abilities associated with them. For example, by casting Destruction spells, you will get better at the Destruction Magic expertise. However, expertise will not just rise on its own. You have to specify which expertises you want to raise.

Click "PC" and then "Expertise" to open your expertise window. A gray button with a line means the expertise will not go up. If you click that button, it will change to a red arrow, which means that expertise will go up when you use the right abilities. It is important to note that you cannot max out every expertise, so you will need to choose what areas you want to focus on.

Expertise is one of the core mechanics of the game, and it is far more complex than can be addressed in this tutorial.
