Item Only Skills[]
With ESR 5.2, a number of item only skill were introduced. These often work in a new and different way, but they are technically part of a skill tree and share synergies with existing spells, such that the respective classes can use them effectively. Use these skills if you want to try something different that isn't in your skill tree. Most of these are found on elite unique items, with some being on Kanji runes. Some of them might only occur as CtC instead of oskills.
