Do you think those knights
followed you here?

I wonder. Well, let's do our
best not to stand out.

Okay. And I want to
catch up with Flynn
as soon as I can.

All right, let's see if we can
just pass through the Hold.

Where's she off to now?

Welcome. I've got some nice
gear in stock today.

This blade was forged by none other
than Assam the blademaster. It even
comes equipped with weapon skills.

No traveler should be without them.
Feel free to give it a try.

Huh? What do you mean?

The special techniques
contained in weapons.

These techniques were originally
passed down from master to pupil...

...but the blademaster Assam used
a special process to seal them
within the weapons themselves.

Bodhi blastia can acquire techniques
from weapons imbued with this power.

With continued use, weapon skills
can eventually be learned by the
person using the weapon.

My, this young lady knows her
stuff. That about sums it up.

I read in a book that the Kritya gave
this knowledge to humans long ago.

Huh. I thought bodhi blastia
only let you use strike and
magic artes.

In order to find the fighting style
that meets your needs...

...it's best to think carefully
about weapon skills when
choosing your weapon.

There are even weapons without weapon skills,
that focus instead on raw attack power.
It all depends on your preference.

If a weapon has weapon
skills sealed inside it...

...those weapon skills will be stored
inside your bodhi blastia when you
keep the weapon equipped for a while.

If you have a weapon equipped,
you can use the weapon skills sealed
inside whenever you want.

However, if you unequip that weapon,
you'll have to set the weapon
skills to be able to use them.

Each weapon skill belongs to one
of four different categories.

When you set a few different skills,
depending on what category they are...

...a particular glyph will appear on
the core of your bodhi blastia.

So, if you had a bunch of weapon
skills for attacking, you'd
see a glyph called fleck.

That glyph lets you know
the strength of your physical
attacks has gone up.

Try all of the combinations
you can think of to see
what they do.

I'm afraid the sun would set long before
I could explain them all to you.

Did you get all of that?

You learn fast.

You should be able to
read all about it in that
young lady's book.

Hmmm, well, it is
pretty complicated.

You should be able to
read all about it in that
young lady's book.

I can't imagine business is all
that great in a place like this.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not
here because I want to be.

There are monsters on the far
side of the Hold, so I'm stuck.

Monsters, huh?

...Did you hear that?

Hmm...

And...she's not listening.

...Huh? Did you
say something?

I said I'm going to go get some information,
so you wait right there.

Oh, I'll come too.

That's all right, go ahead and take it.
It's pretty old and it has some pages
missing, but it's yours if you like.

Th-thank you very much.

Is that book any good?

It's fascinating.
You can read it as
soon as I finish.
