Skill

A **skill** (スキル, *Skill*) is an action that a spirit is capable of. In the current build, only the main melee spirits can fight indefinitely, while the rest are limited to use. In order to restore the use of a spirit, the player has to sojourn at a respite or find red flowers.

Main skills do not have a cooldown, but no other main skills can be used at the same time.

Subskills have a cooldown and limited number of uses, but can be used in conjunction with other skills.
