==EquipmentConnected Skills=='''Lucky BeltsSub-Skills:'''* None'''Secondary Skills:''' * [[Calligraphy]]: Calligraphy is Sword's secondary skill. Every time you level Calligraphy, you will learn a new recipe. Performing these recipes will give you a combo: if you execute that combo, it will have some extra effect. For example, the first recipe is "Pain: If you execute SwordSlash + SwordSlash + ManyCuts in that order, the final step deals 5 extra damage." Some recipes have passive insights that will be applied for the duration - Pain+ increases all your Direct Slashing damage by 1. : The duration of the Calligraphy effects can be extended by performing them on Calligraphy Benches, learned through [[Belt#List_of_Lucky_Belts|Hunter, Soldier and GladiatorCarpentry]] can attune random-generated treasure to this skill.<!-- I'll fill this out when I can --!>''Related Skills:'''==Advanced==* None
