Guidelines in Cultivation:
Elemental attribute is basically used in infusion of the element in the weapon (basic usage)
Some skills require specific element (secondary usage of elemental attribute)
A skill can be learned only upon entering a "stage" in cultivation using a skill scroll. (thus, an expert realm cultivator can have a maximum of 3 skills)
