== Step 5 — Choose Skills and Phasmic Formulae ==

Every hero receives '''seven competency choices'''. Spend them on any [[SeventhSun:Skills|Skills]] and any [[SeventhSun:Phasmic Formulae|Phasmic Formulae]] the hero can access.

* Spend 1 choice to become Trained 2 in a Skill or Formula
* Spend a second choice on the same competency to become Expert 4
* No starting competency may exceed Expert 4
* An unchosen Skill is Untrained 0
* An unchosen Formula cannot be used without a Gift or Talent that says otherwise

The Skills are:

[[SeventhSun:Skills#Combat|Combat]] • [[SeventhSun:Skills#Athletics|Athletics]] • [[SeventhSun:Skills#Finesse|Finesse]] • [[SeventhSun:Skills#Stealth|Stealth]] • [[SeventhSun:Skills#Awareness|Awareness]] • [[SeventhSun:Skills#Insight|Insight]] • [[SeventhSun:Skills#Influence|Influence]] • [[SeventhSun:Skills#Guile|Guile]] • [[SeventhSun:Skills#Command|Command]] • [[SeventhSun:Skills#Wayfaring|Wayfaring]] • [[SeventhSun:Skills#Medicine|Medicine]] • [[SeventhSun:Skills#Lore|Lore]] • [[SeventhSun:Skills#Technics|Technics]] • [[SeventhSun:Skills#Craft|Craft]]

A hero may choose Phasmic Formulae when the concept supplies a source of phasm: a native or reintegrated vinculum, appointment by a Monitor, or another source established by the setting. Path does not control access. Magister and Emissary are simply the two most common phasmic concepts.
