Actions
Each class has a unique set of actions which are learned upon attaining certain levels. To execute an action, press a number on the keyboard (0–9) that corresponds to its position on the action bar.

* Disciples of War and Magic are able to use the actions of other classes in the same discipline.
* Actions can roughly be divided into the following three categories:
 
- Weaponskills: Actions performed by Disciples of War that require TP or MP.
- Magic: Actions performed by Disciples of Magic that require MP.
- Combat Abilities: Actions that grant various status effects.
* Once a magic spell is learned, its potency increases as you gain in level.
