9.0.10 LESSON POOLS

To see how many lessons are in your lesson pools:
Syntax: LESSONS

To transfer lessons between pools:
Syntax: LESSONPOOL TRANSFER LESSONS FROM TO

Lesson pools come into play when an adventurer chooses to change skills or specializations. By 'forgetting' a skill or specialization in order to learn another, all lessons placed into that skill are dropped into the connecting lesson pool at a 20% loss. So if you had spent 100 lessons in Aquamancy and decide to forget the specialization, you will move 80 lessons into the Mysticism Pool (losing 20 lessons irrevocably). These 80 lessons may only be used on skills that connect to that lesson pool.

If you transfer lessons between sibling lesson pools, there will be a further 20% loss of lessons. For instance, transferring 80 lessons from mysticism to spirit will have a net loss of 16 lessons in the transfer. Sibling pools share the same parent lesson pool (i.e., spirit and mysticism pools share the mind pool).

Finally, transferring lessons from a secondary (or sibling pool) to the parent will have a further loss of 30% of the lessons transferred, so transferring 80 lessons from the mysticism pool to the spirit pool will result in a net loss of 24 lessons. There is no lesson loss when transferring lessons among the parent pools (i.e., body, empathy, mind, artistry, and spirit).


Does this sound wrong to anyone else? Spirit -> Mysticism and Will. How exactly is Spirit a a sibling pool of Mysticism? Isn't it the parent pool?

Yeah, that does look wrong.

I thought this was discussed a while back, looks like it hasn't been changed yet.

I asked about this a while back, and it was generally agreed upon that it's just a typo.
