Technique: Better Skilled Than Lucky - The Imperial Academy of Arts and Sciences is a bastion of pure skill, where tricks are discarded in favor of simple end-to-end mastery.

While the two skills remain within one rank of each other, you gain one free raise with each, and when one of your emphases apply, you may reroll the roll once. You must keep the second roll.
