Re: New Fanfiction, need some thoughts...
Lilith, I did have to do a lot of thinking on all the things you brought up
In the end I decided that when it comes to job abilities and weapon skills, they come with becoming familiar with how the weapon works and perhaps reading up on how the masters use their weapons, sort of how martial artists have to condition their bodies and become familiar with other weapons (like numchucks, for example) and then learn special ways of moving them and different techniques.
I thought of "leveling" as sort of a slang term for training, because the way I see it, perhaps they can feel a surge of energy whenever they become stronger in an instance, like when we level up in game. Spells are much easier because we know it comes from scrolls, and a mage has to become stronger and more experienced in order to comprehend and control the higher level spells.
It is a bit awkward thinking of things in such a real way, but in order to write fantasy (as I'm learning in a class) you do have to think of things realistically, and buy into what you're doing. If you don't take it seriously and make it believable, the reader won't take it seriously.
And, because homecoming is this weekend, I sort of miscalculated my free time Starting next Monday my free time will open up once more. And, next weekend I'm going on a long trip, so I'll look into bringing my laptop so I can get ahead on things. But I'll do everything in my power to get it done before then 
I'm 4000 words into it, so honestly it's just a matter of finding a good place to stop.

And I'm sorry about the wait, as usual...I'm bringing my laptop along so hopefully I can get some of it done during the flights and such. Take care all~
It may not be very soon, but I will find a place for him in the future. Along with Ejospike, Darkmyth, Nessomurai, Nazarac...this huge line of people I need to remember to add in, hehe.
