School Survival

University life is different from almost everything you have experienced before. You're in the heart of the largest and grandest city of the Empire, learning the ancient secrets of magic, surrounded by students you barely know. Learning School Survival will give you the tools to survive and thrive.

Dominant Attribute: Insight

Note: The School Survival Parent Skill and its Subskills only give a perk to level 10. This is not a bug but intentional.

  • (Field Medicine, Relaxation and Test Taking, added later, do have level 11 perks; Relaxation being the newest, wiki contributors have not yet determined what happens if/when those three are raised to 11, which would presumably raise the Parent Skill to 11 ...)

Curiosity

The Academagia is a renowned University, but it is also the place where the greatest of magical research has occurred. Cataneus discovered the magical mechanisms of Volnage there in the year 167, the mage Essedra made the sensational discovery of the first derivative pheme in 480, and the list goes on.

The techniques of first aid and short term herbal remedies fall under the umbrella of Field Medicine, not Chirurgery.

Relaxation

Relaxation is a skill many folks, (particularly teachers) take for granted - but there's nothing more likely to get you through a challenging academic career than the ability to fling yourself down on a comfy couch and set your worries aside while you daydream about monkeys playing water polo for hours at a time. Remember: If you want to be a master of slaking off, you have to take it seriously.

Test-Taking is a very specialized skill, but an incredibly useful one to have in an academic environment.
