The rest of the pet skills don't interest right now, I don't need to take the skill to increase the number of available pets until the system refuses to allow to. I may as well try and find a third now that I have the faster pet growing skill, presumably I won't be able to level it up unless I gain a new pet.
At that ti perhaps the system will refuse to allow reconstitute a monster and I can easily pick up the skill then. For now, let's look about and see what other skills I can find.
Scrolling through the nus takes a significant amount of ti. They don't seem to be organised in a properly logical way, with movent skills mixed with ntal skill and magical skills sotis tucked away amongst physical ones. It's almost as if you need to know what you're looking for and where to find it ahead of ti, otherwise your only choice is to trawl through the lists checking every entry until you find sothing you like.
Which is exactly what I'm doing right now. And it sucks!
This one? No…
How about..? No…
Hmmmm….. No…
Who would want to get better at that anyway?!
Madness!
There has to be so juicy new skills here sowhere. I need to look a little more carefully. I rember when the skill list had only five options on it. I don't know how, I don't know why but that has ballooned out to over one hundred at this point. I'm not sure exactly what causes the skills to beco unlocked… there must be so sort of prerequisite that needs to be t. Perhaps with stats… or even actions in the world?
For example the pet skills. I don't exactly frequently check the skill list but they didn't appear until after I had reconstituted my first pet. I didn't go looking for them until after I'd t Formo the Sophos but it stands to reason that they were unlocked sohow.
Which ans that other skills must also have prerequisites before they beco available. I suppose that humans and civilisations like the Sophos would have had hundreds of years to learn all this stuff and map it out, uncovering the most optimal paths, planning the best combinations of skills.
Well, the ant kingdom will also have to compile this knowledge! Starting the first twenty of the new generation I'll begin the process of learning the secrets behind the entire skill tree! Not a single leaf shall remain unturned!
With renewed determination I start reading through the skill descriptions one by one and I manage to uncover a few gems.
[Mana Miser; allows the user to be able to do slightly more with slightly less when utilising mana. Effect will increase along with skill level]
[Cerebral Endurance; the user will be able better marshal their ntal resources, reducing the ntal exertion for complex will based tasks slightly]
[ditation; user will be able to relax the mind and achieve clarity of thought. Each level will make the state more effective and easier to achieve]
Each of these three makes a lot of sense to from a magic user perspective. More efficiency with mana, better ntal endurance and a clearer, more focused mind? Perfect for my spell slinging ways!

Man the number of skills I have is really climbing! Now that my skills are starting to climb into the third tier it's becoming harder to train them, aning I have to upgrade them less, causing my current skill point build up.
I shouldn't go too crazy picking up new skills… perhaps only one or two more.
I keep flipping through. I've already picked up so skills on the ntal side.. Is there anything on the physical side that I could pick up? I start to focus in on skill nas that seem to focus on physical prowess but most don't seem that useful.
There has to be sothing that could be interesting… I need to rember not to judge a skill on exactly what it says at the first stage. After reaching level five and then level ten the skills beco much more useful. Look at dash for example. I ignored it initially since charging forward when I was just born would be little more than charging forward to my own death. After witnessing the aweso movent skills of the humans it beca clear that after being upgraded that dash was almost essential for physical combat.
Ooooo how about this?
[Precise shooting; the user will beco better able to target objects with ranged attacks]
This should work for my acid shot as well as my magic right?
Purchased!
Alright then… there has to be sothing else… sothing less passive.
One more skill…
Eventually I co across sothing that catches my eye. Even then… it sounds a bit nasty….
[Ripping bite; increases the users' ability to make bite attacks aid at tearing away part of the targets body]
….
That…. Is badass.

With the warm trickling sensation of new skill knowledge flooding my brain I feel pleased with my new purchases. New skills to level! New horizons to explore! Who knows exactly what these skills will turn into in the future?!
One thing I do know is that I need to start training up my skills quickly. My current options aren't nearly enough to handle the sort of conflicts we are going to start getting into so I need to lift my ga!
Content with my spending for the mont I turn to check in on my pets. Crinis is still bobbling away in the corner and Tiny remains seated, eyes glazed as he contemplates the upgrade nu.
Good luck guys, I wish you well!

Since I don't have much to do I may as well start trying to grind my skills.
Who knows? Perhaps I'll be able to unlock sothing interesting if I can get so of my skills to evolve…
I settle in to wait for my pets to complete their spending and try to activate my ditation skill. It takes a little while but I gradually feel a calm sensation begin to pervade my mind, my thoughts growing still and placid, my emotions fading into the background.
With the proper mood established I call on my mana and begin to practice. There's a lot of work to do.
