This sheet shows you the respective skill levels, uses/progress and skill degrees of your skills. Everytime you practice a skill, you become more proficient at it, thus increasing your progress and leading to higher skill level in the feat.	Viewing your skills: Click on Character Stats -> Skills & Proeficiencies From here, you can click on the images at the top of the screen to view particular skills, and use some of them as well.
Types of skills: General Skills - These include things like Mining, Stonecutting and Enchanting. These skills allow you to undertake specific activities related to the particular skill. Weapon Skills - These skills are known as Weapon Proficencies and allow you to effectively use weapons. Magic Skills - These skills are known as Spell/Magic Proficiencies and allow you to effectively cast spells.

Skill Progress: Also known as Skill Uses, the progress of a skill increment as you practice the skill. When the skill uses reaches its maximum value, it will increment your skill level in the particular skill (as long as your race is capable of learning the skill to the given level). Take the example below in the print screen. Everytime the player steals, whether successful or unsuccessful, his theft skill uses will increment by 1. When the skill uses reach 50 (i.e. the progress bar becomes full), the skill level of the player's theft skill (previously 35) will rise to 36.

Skill Level: As explained above, your skill level in a skill will rise when your progress bar becomes full. In other words, when your skill uses reaches its maximum value, your skill level will increment by 1. However, keep in mind that your skill level will only increment if your race does not have any maximum skill level limits for the given skill. E.g. Race X has a maximum skill level limit of 25 for the skill Mining. This means that the player will never be able to progress above the skill level of 25, regardless of whether the progress bar is full or not.

Skill Degrees: The effectiveness of all skills is measured by their respective skill degrees. The relevant skill degrees are explained below:

Image	Degree	Explanation
	Not Trained	This is the lowest degree you can achieve in any skill. If you have this degree in a skill, you will not be allowed to practise or use the skill until you find a specialist NPC to teach you the relevant skill. Note: Regardless of your skill level or uses in a skill, if you have this skill degree in any skill, you will not be able to use it. Required Skill lvl: N/A
	Novice	This degree allows you to practise your skills but at a very basic level. Required Skill lvl: 1
	Expert	This degree allows you to practise your skills at a high level and dramatically increases the proficiency at which you achieve results using the skill. Most skills will give you access to secondary bonuses at this stage, but this is entirely dependent on the individual skill. Required Skill lvl: 20
	Master	This degree allows you to practise your skills at a very high level and exponentially increases the proficiency at which you achieve results using the skill. Most skills will give you access to tertiary bonuses at this stage. Again, this is entirely dependent on the particular skill. Required Skill lvl: 50
	Grand Master	This is the ultimate level you can achieve in any given skill. Achieving this degree in any skill is worth praise and increases your status, as well as proficiency in the skill by up to 10 times. Some skills will unlock special abilities for you at this stage. Required Skill lvl: 100

Depending on your race, you will be able to practice certain skills. However, it is quite possible to hack your spiritual energy through the Training Grounds with the use of Spirit Points. In such a case, you will be able to learn skills your race is not normally capable of learning.
