== {{msg:BASEPAGENAME}} Overview==
'''Psychology''' is a strange skill that revolves around affecting allies/enemies by getting into their head. It's one of the most versatile support skills, with a mix of crowd control, healing, and rage reduction.
* [[Riger]] will not directly teach you Psychology, but after you complete his quest, he will allow you to read a Psychology book.
* For players that do not want to go back to the island to learn Psychology, [[Yetta]] sells a book titled ''Fighting with Psychology''. Alternatively completing the "alternative approach to continued slaughter..." for [[Oritania]]'s quest [[Kill Spiders]] will award Psychology experience and unlock it.
* [[Helena Veilmoor]] teaches and [[Suspicious Cow]] teach '''You Were Adopted''' 1-3 and '''But I Love You''' 1-2
* [[Nissim]] in [[Amulna]] will unlock Psychology 51-60, 61-70, and teaches level 51+ abilities.
* [[Raina]] unlocks 71-80.
* Levels 81-90 may be unlocked by gaining favor with a mysterious entity deep beneath [[Povus]].===== Synergy Levels =====
