Unlinked skill

An unlinked skill is a skill that is not linked to an attribute. As such, their effect does not vary depending on an attribute's rank and are not considered part of any attribute for the purposes of any effects.

As there is no attribute involved, unlinked skills often offer a way for a character to be more versatile or effective without spending attribute points.

Unlinked spells for most professions use the same casting symbol as spells of that profession's primary attribute, however unlinked Assassin and Dervish spells have their own unique casting symbols.
