Firebug - Firebug is a benchmark gifted to players who have spent the majority of their playtime swamped in flames. It doesn't just imply a small resistance to fire magic, it denotes an almost total resilience to fire attribute attacks. It gives the user extra passive abilities as well. Although Redsky can ignore fire attacks, she's quite weak to other elemental attacks but Firebug also gives her a buff to her own fire magic.

Glass Cannon - Glass Cannon is a lot like Firebug but it's often a benchmark most players look down on. Glass Cannon is a recognition that the player has one of the lowest possible health pools in the game but also one of the highest damage outputs. It has an extra active ability which allows Redsky to sacrifice percentage health in return for temporary percentage damage increase. She will only ever activate the ability when she has someone soaking aggro for her, allowing her to do a lot more damage.

Chaotic Touch - A benchmark awarded to a player who the system doesn't quite understand, combat-wise. It's a marker of terrible positioning to the point where the AI and other players find it very difficult to predict how she will move and what she will do. Often frustrating, it can drag more aggro but it allows her to dodge a few ranged telegraphed abilities.

Firestorm - Firestorm is one of the specialist trees in the fire mage benchmark. It allows the player to use primarily AoE spells. It doesn't support high single target damage but allows the player to cast spells which inflict medium damage on multiple targets. Redsky was built around Firestorm. It allows for some self-peel and a lot of AoE attacks and paired with her ability to sacrifice health for damage, she can deal high damage to multiple targets. It also has extra benefits by giving the player much more spell control, allowing them to maintain one spell while casting and maintaining another spell. This can tire out a mage but increases the amount of damage they do in a certain time.

Flames of the Dragon King - There's a joke in the small circle of high level fire mages that players who spec into FotDK either have a special death wish or are just outright masochists. The tree is an additive one to the mage’s primary tree and requires a number of prerequisites. First of all, the player must have a low base health pool, secondly they need to be a high level fire mage and finally, they must complete a solo questline about the fall of the great dragons. Once all of this is completed, the player unlocks the Flames of the Dragon King benchmark. Suicidal isn't quite the right word for it but it's a simple idea. The benchmark gives the players three abilities of varying power but they all have a similar trend - they do a massive amount of damage but completely exhaust the user and reduce their health by eighty percent and upwards. If a fight isn't over when one of the abilities are used, the user is dead. It leaves them unable to escape, on low health and with a great deal of aggro.

Glassblowing - Glassblowing is one of those professions that most people remain entirely unaware of. Low level glassblowing is largely uneventful; you make some nice jugs and glasses which often fetch a good price from richer players and NPC nobles but it's quite boring. The higher you get, however, the more interesting it becomes. It allows the creation of glass tipped weapons (in conjunction with a weaponsmith) which are fragile but extremely sharp and glass fibres which can be woven into various garments to increase their strength. Overall, the role is a bit meaningless and requires working with others but Redsky enjoys it.

Explorer - A benchmark given to players who have been around the block a few too many times. It allows the player to easily discern maps (including treasure maps) and gives them a good sense of direction so that they usually find their way back to civilisation one way or another.

Negotiator Extraordinaire - Surprisingly, for someone who spends the most of her time burning things, Redsky is quite good at negotiating. Allow her negotiations don't often make sense, it means that not every fight has to end with some poor chap burnt alive. It also comes in handy when trying to bargain and convince people to do it her way.

Mother’s Voice - A benchmark which has always been with her character. She never quite understood why considering Pariah was just a game but she reasoned that it must have detected something in the complex architecture of her mind. It's mostly passive but allows her to calm others and occasionally (and accidentally) cast a buff which increases perseverance.

Arcane Knowledge - Arcane Knowledge is a benchmark which notes a good understanding of magic and its applications. It derives from a basic investment in learning in the Queon Familia and allows Redsky to talk competently on her and others’ magic.

Regenerative: Constantly being subjected to healing spells, potions, poultices, incantations, chants and prayers has left its mark on Thael. He passively regenerates health and is more receptive to healing of all forms.
Enhanced Endurance: Full plate armour is HEAVY. Thael is slower to tire and can take more damage than other characters.
Enhanced Strength: You try swinging two-handed swords around for that long without developing some additional muscle. This translates to higher than expected damage from Thael’s physical attacks.
Sunder: Thael delivers a crushing blow with his greatsword to a single target for massive damage. This move also draws a lot of attention.
Cleave: For when there are too many opponents and just not enough time. Thael swings his greatsword in large sweeps, dealing damage to multiple enemies near him.

Intercede: .Thael can perform a warding ritual on a friendly target. From then on, Thael takes a portion of the damage meant for the friendly, and also reduces the threat they generate in battle. This ritual does take some time, so recasting it during a fight is not advisable.
Larger than Life: Physically and mentally, Thael has a big presence on the battlefield. Countless hours of trashtalking bosses have paid off: Thael can easily cause enemies to target him instead of more vulnerable allies.
Intimidate: Full plate armour, a massive broadsword, screaming obscenities the whole time; even the toughest enemies are taken aback. Thael projects an aura that causes nearby enemies to take slightly more damage from all sources.
Spellcasting - Holy: The gift of patron deities to their loyal paladins. Thael can cast a few useful spells from the holy discipline of magic.
Lore Knowledge - Divine: The gods and godesses of the land are Thael’s favourite part of Pariah’s lore, and he has done a lot of reading on them.
