Skill Types
Skill Types¶
Skill Types are the categories that organize skills into groups for battle menus, character access, and visibility rules. Every skill belongs to exactly one type, and a character can only use skills whose type appears in its allowed Skill Types list — making types the primary tool for restricting which abilities each character has access to.
Skill Types can also be nested into a parent type, which is how the battle menu builds hierarchies like "Magic → Fire / Ice / Lightning" or "Special → Limit Breaks / Combos". Each type can be configured to hide its skills when the user lacks the type entirely, hide individual skills when they cannot be used, and group its skills under a sub-category in the battle command menu.
