General Description
A new addition to Shilla is Proficiencies. These rankings can apply to all aspects of your character, from the spells or weapons they use to attack with, to the skills used throughout the game. As you become more proficient the effectiveness of the weapon/spell/skill increases, or its cost decreases. Below you will find the Ranks and Benefits of increased proficiency.
