Absolum inspirations
Absolum has 44 hero-specific Inspirations, eleven for each of Galandra, Karl, Brome and Cider. They change attacks, movement, Mana and summons. The complete table groups every skill by hero. Arcana Mastery comes from the corresponding character quest; two other skills per hero unlock through Ederig.
