Virtue

Virtue is an branch of AP abilities and combat focused mostly on utility. The Virtue path is reliant on one’s skills in persuasion and charisma. Wielding Virtue allows you to be capable of bestowing potentially massive buffs and de-buffs onto a particular ally or enemy without the cost of Mana. The typical downside is the sheer lack of lasting effect. The purpose of this path is focused on combat tricks and enhancements fit for a Bard or a Priest attempting to build camaraderie among the group. As the utility side of the Forge Shard, Virtue takes on the role of AP powered control. Players can gain some of the benefits normally limited to mages, but with the flexibility of not compromising the possibility of physical damage.
