Mastering Rab's Wisdom: The Sage's Skill Tree Guide
Rab, the ancient and wise sage, is a cornerstone of the Luminary's party, providing essential magical support, potent offensive spells, and a surprising amount of resilience. His skill trees, primarily 'Wands' and 'Courage,' are designed to enhance his magical prowess and survivability. By strategically investing skill points, You can shape Rab into a powerful healer, a devastating spellcaster, or a balanced combination of both.
