Skills

The keys of a skill file, gates, loot, and the eleven shipped skills.

Everything about a skill is in its file under skills/. Delete the file and the skill is gone; copy it under another name and a twelfth exists. Nothing lists the skills.

Key	Meaning
`enabled`	`false` takes the skill out of every window, placeholder and board; stored experience stays
`display`	`name` and `description` (per language), `icon`, `slot`, `colour` (a theme role)
`maximum-level`	The cap; lowering it never demotes anybody
`curve`	What each level costs; left out, the shared `curve` of `config.conf`. See Curves
`stat-points`	Points of each stat one level pays, each an expression over `level`; `level % 2` pays every other level
`abilities`	The ability files this skill opens; move a name to another skill file and the ability moves
`sources`	The file under `sources/` that says how it is earned
`earn-conditions`	uxmLib conditions a player must pass to earn at all, such as `"money exp >= 250"`; empty for anybody
`capstone`	What finishing the skill pays, once: `badge` and `actions`
`gates`	What the skill holds back until earned: an item gate is a level, a block gate is a condition list. Nothing is gated when shipped
`loot`	Drops on top of the experience: a pool rolls at most once per payout, only for the source lines it names, and a point of luck moves its chance. Every shipped pool is empty

A player also needs uxmskills.skill.<id> to earn; the shipped eleven are held by everybody.

The shipped skills

All cap at level 100 and take the shared curve except agility, which writes base * level * (1 + ln(level) / 3) with base 130.
