around various areas that will give the party certain skills at expert level (with 6-7 skill points) whether or not they can learn them normally. There are six (6) of these altogether: Merchant, Body Building, ID Item, Perception, Repair Item, and Learning.
There is an 7th one, for Elemental Magic Casters (Fire Magic - expert +8)) which requires the completion of a quest and an 8th one for all magic users (Dark Magic - Master +8) which requires completion of yet another quest.
The town portal spell (for both scrolls and the spell book) has been "unmade" (thus no Gate Masters) and requires the completion of a quest to restore.
