Description: This skill allows someone to use any item as a weapon with great proficiency. This skill works in reverse from most skills, though, as it allows the person to use a weapon at the highest level their current level and skills allow the first time using a new item but has diminishing returns the longer they use it. The more often that item is used the less proficient the person becomes in it until they reach the base level of an untrained person.

Name: Quicksilver
Type: Speed Enhancement
Level: 5
Description:
This skill was issued as a System reward for proving yourself a frontrunner. Through extraordinary circumstances where you pushed past your limits in various situations, Quicksilver has evolved, unlocking new potential in your ability to manipulate both speed and momentum. Initially focused solely on enhancing your speed, this skill now grants you the power to control the momentum of others. This advancement occurred as a result of your quick thinking and protective instincts, allowing you to move or stop others at high speed without causing harm. Quicksilver now permits longer bursts of speed and introduces Kinetic Control, though overuse may result in physical strain. This skill is highly impacted by your Agility and Endurance stats.

Effects:

Burst Speed:

Grants a speed boost of 10% per Agility point to all movements for a total of

30 seconds

per Endurance point. You can push beyond your normal limits for an additional 10 seconds, allowing for incredible bursts of speed. However, this overextension causes strain, resulting in a 20% decrease in Agility for 5 minutes after use.

Warning:

Overextension of this skill causes physical damage, mitigated by your Endurance stat.

Surefooted:

You are now able to navigate complex terrain at any speed.

Rapid Healing:

While Quicksilver is activated, your body's normal regenerative rate is increased by 100%.

Kinetic Control:

You can now manipulate the momentum of others while touching them. This allows you to stop or start sudden movements without causing harm, ensuring that those you are in contact with can safely withstand rapid acceleration or deceleration. However, each use of this ability drains Endurance quickly, limiting how often you can safely manipulate others' momentum and reducing overall time of Burst Speed. This skill is highly impacted by the object's mass and your Strength.

Cooldown:

Endurance depletion requires a full night's sleep to recover.
