Data about skill: after starting to meditate, there is a check at the 4-second mark. If you fail, the meditating fails: "you fail to relax". If you succeed, you get one of the meditation messages, a small amount of skill and the meditation continues. At the end of the meditation timer you sometimes get skill; this is about 10x the amount that you get for passing the relaxation check. I currently (skill~5) get skill every time for the relaxation check, and only some of the time at end-of-timer. [I think most of the information regarding this skill should be here, in the skill page, not the item page] [[User:Urman|Urman]] 21:17, 15 September 2009 (CDT)
Rolf mentioned in IRC that you can increase skill to 20 without following a path. He also said skillgain is higher when following a path. [[User:Mulhadrian|Mulhadrian]] 14:26, September 17th 2006 (UTC)
