Academia skills affect a character's ability to learn and understand matters intellectual. These skills also affect the magic users' ability to learn and understand spells. While Academia skills may eventually increase automatically, magical study skills must be advanced manually be adding skill points whenever a character gains a level; these are studied skills, not practiced. Without study, the magician will never learn spells beyond the basic. As with all the skills, the highest amount a particular skill can reach is 100 points.
