“The Book begins, "I am slowly going mad from the lycan disease. I am writing down everything I know of the art of combat. It is so much deeper than most people realize! Each piece of armor and weaponry has subtle distinctions, and mastering these distinctions gives you tremendous leverage in battle.
I would be pleased and honored if whoever reads this were to follow my lessons and learn my life's work. It may not apply to all warriors, but I at least guarantee you will become a better staff fighter!"

Learning
The skill can be obtained by reading a book behind Timothy Elerimon (?) who is located in the Wolf Cave dungeon.
Leveling
Each base type of object can be studied once. For example, "Quality Sword" and "Quality Sword of System Shocks" are not separate items. However, "Quality Sword of System Shocks" and "Basic Sword of System Shocks" are two different items.
After studying an object, you cannot study another one for 5 minutes.
Each level of hoplology requires 50 XP.
