Skills, EP & Magicules¶
EP / Existence Value¶
EP is a central Tensura power metric and is used throughout TSR for character, enemy, boss, equipment, and progression balancing. The local Existence Points article preserves the complete maintained upstream explanation and its version context.
External enemies are not supposed to remain on vanilla power scales. Ascension and dedicated compatibility layers are used where available to give external mobs meaningful Tensura-scale EP, skills, and resistances.
Magicules¶
Magicules and Aura are documented together in the upstream EP, Magicule, Aura reference. The Iron's Spells compatibility layer is selected specifically because it integrates external magic with Tensura rather than operating as an unrelated mana game.
Skills¶
TSR uses Tensura Skill Books as the primary controlled reward mechanism for quest/boss/discovery skill rewards.
The goal is to avoid: - unrestricted high-tier skill drops, - random quest rewards that skip progression, - duplicated skill-acquisition systems, - fabricated custom IDs.
Exact skill IDs and reward mappings are only documented after assembly.
