The [Analyze] Skill

The [Analyze] skill is a foundational ability granted to every Hunter upon gaining a class. At its core, the skill allows Hunters to gather essential information about objects, flora, fauna, and sometimes even adversaries they encounter in dungeons or in the field. However, the skill's effectiveness and scope depend heavily on the Hunter's level, experience, and class. As a Hunter grows, so does their ability to interpret and interact with the information they gather, and the [Analyze] skill itself can adapt, transforming into a specialized version that aligns with their unique abilities.

How [Analyze] Works

For a novice Hunter, [Analyze] provides only basic data—a name, a short description, and perhaps a simple summary of an object's properties or weaknesses. With time and experience, however, Hunters can unlock a more advanced version of [Analyze], granting them deeper insights. This upgraded version doesn't just offer basic information; it breaks down composition, provides elemental affinities, highlights potential hazards, and, in some cases, even suggests uses for the items or materials. When a Hunter's class is particularly attuned to gathering and interpreting data, [Analyze] often gains a new name and functionality, morphing into a unique skill tailored to the Hunter's specific talents.

For instance:

A Warrior might upgrade [Analyze] into [Battle Instincts], allowing them to instantly assess enemy weaknesses and predict attack patterns.

A Healer could develop [Vital Sight], which lets them perceive the health status and ailments of their teammates at a glance.

For an Alchemist or a Poison Specialist, [Analyze] could evolve into [Alchemical Insight], offering detailed information on ingredients, poison levels, and potential reactions.

Visha's [Analyze] Skill: [Pestilent Insight]

Given her class, [Pestilent Harbinger], Visha's [Analyze] skill has evolved into a unique version named [Pestilent Insight]. This specialized skill allows her to not only see the basic properties of plants and animals but also to delve into their toxic potential, detect hidden poisons, and discern how these elements interact with each other in alchemical mixtures. [Pestilent Insight] shows her how different poisons could be combined, distilled, or modified to enhance their effects, and even reveals potential vulnerabilities in flora or fauna affected by pestilence and decay.

When using [Pestilent Insight] on a plant or creature, Visha doesn't just see what it is; she understands its essence—its toxicity, its potential uses in plagues or venomous brews, and its reaction to her pestilent abilities. This skill lets her mentally "dissect" each component, noting whether it could be preserved, intensified, or used in unique alchemical solutions that align with her powers.
