Skills (Online)

Skills are purchasable abilities in. New skills are unlocked and learned by leveling up and spending Skill Points. Skills can be combined to augment damage output. For example, a Sorcerer skills can use Synergy, and, when used in conjunction with the Dragonknight skill Conduit, a more powerful attack can be performed. Synergies combine skills from characters of different classes to make them more powerful.

Morphing Skills
Skills can also be morphed. Morphing a skill will turn it into a more powerful version of itself. With sufficient skill progression the Vestige will be allowed to spend a skill point and do this.

Currently, skills will feature two morph choices. Morphing a skill will usually add extra effects, make a certain effect more powerful, increase the range or area of an attack, make the skill consume less stamina or magicka when activated, etc.

An example of a Morph Choice is Rushed Ceremony. Passive skills will not Morph, but more than one skill point can be put into these, which will increase the effectiveness of that passive skill.

Skills Reset
There are altars throughout Tamriel that allow the Vestige to reset their skills, for a small fee.

=All Skills= The skills listed below are those that are currently confirmed to be appearing in the game. However, Zenimax is planning on adding additional skill lines after release, which can only be found by interacting with the environment.
