Indeed. However, Familiar Communication & Familiar Recovery are only applicable and usable after one tames a Familiar, the actual skill to tame one is based on luck. This works both for and against a tamer. They can farm a single mob to raise the skill in the hopes of taming one of those, or that person can just raise it as normal as they do everything else and randomly tame one along the way.

This results in people sometimes getting one they want, and sometimes they don't.
Ok, to help with my knowledge(if you all want it)--

Alchemy: Alchemy is a valid skill, though it is not called or classed as Alchemy. In this game it is the concept of mixing poisons, or perfumes in this case. There are "Antidote" Crystals, but they vary upon the type of poison. Players in the Manga and Anime both spoke of how the players focusing on it were developing more and more powerful types of poisons that caused the Antidote Crystals to delay. They couldn't ever stop being effective as the game programmed them to be permanent, however the stronger the poison the more the crystal needed time to fully work out the poison.

Beast-Taming: In the SAO universe Beast-Taming explanation was similar to the special skills. "One day it just happened to be there.." This happened with Silica in the fact that she randomly happened to befriend Peta when she met her, due to her skill. Beast Tamers get the skill in their list, but it is also somewhat random. There is in-lore debate that the reason it is given is for people who attach themselves to certain monsters, or animals. In my character's case it is his being a hunter both out-of-game and in-game. He will have spent the largest amount of his time in-game becoming a better predator, and thus eventually got the Beast-Tamer skill.
Ah damnit, I was making a Beast Tamer. :/
Yes it is.. I find it rather punny.
I am alright, loving this snow I got in West Virginia. It isn't too much, but is more than a dusting, so I am happy.^^

How are you?
Yes, I know this Sword knowledge already. ^^ However, during the move to the west, and the early raids into England, the Vikings took English blades as loot and came to use them often. They did actually use the earliest verison of two-handed greatswords, though they are barely recorded.

Anyway, the concept for calling them a Zwei-hander goes beyond literal historical knowledge to that of anytime a "Nord/Norse/Northmen/Norn" is used in a Medieval/Fantasy setting. They always circumvent Viking/English/Highlandic/Renaissance weapons and combat, but to fit the Viking aesthetic. The Great-swords in Skyrim and in The Elder Scrolls series are not literal historical manifestations, rather they are collaborative manifestations with weapons from all eras.

A prime Example: Eastern Oriental Weapons were in "The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind" but not as solely Akiviri weapons, they were of Colovian(Imperial) design as well. This has been(seemingly, but nto specifically) retcon'd to be only Akivir weapons in later games, but LORE, still has those type of weapons during that era.
Oh, I am sorry the Rawlith part of my post took so long, and that it is so short. However, it is up now. ^^
Yes, its a two-hander yes. ^^ I referred to it as a Zwei-hander to note it's specific nordic design. You see, Scandanavians(Vikings to be more simple) also used the germanic language. Actual Nordic men referred to two-handers and Zwei-handers, thus I did so to note that it was a two-hander specific to Nordic design, as it is Skyrim.

You see, I value the aspect and knowledge that each province will have a different cultural appeal to their weapons, but also that each individual Blacksmith will likely have different preferences. An Elven smithy could prefer Elven cultural designs, where as a Redguard could prefer Khajiiti, altogether the design is based all within the mind and heart of the smith. In this case, I will mostly refer to two-handers of Nordic design as Zwei-handers.
"I'M AN INDESTRUCTIBLE, MASTER OF WARRR!


...


"I have slaughter hundreds, ended the lives of the greatest, ceased the breathing of the most legendary, felled the grandest masters, claimed Championship of the great Cyrodillic Arena, destroyed hordes of Orcish Berserkers, halted the rampage of Breton Battlemages, laid waste to infamous Telvanni Dunmer, and let those ignorant Thalmor meet their makers in Aetherius.." A voice hounded out, a deep, commanding, voice of a gruff anger and the tone of a war-forged nordic male. "You! You think you can kill me!? A mere Elf no less.. You will perish among the many lives of your kin, and you will find nothing except your own fate in this realization. Now come, meet my blade.. BOSMER!" The voice explained with a thundering proclamation as the giant man, adorned in simple steel armor. The design the most common Nordic with the furnishing of more fur to sate those living in the most northern lands of Skyrim. The exact place they sat, perched outside of Dawnstar a few miles, on a small hill near a large manor which was recently built. The Nord drew his large blade, a zwei-hander of steel and nordic design to match while he also plopped his helmet over his head. The horned helmet covered the square jaw of the nord and coated his long blonde hair in a plate of protection. He took a heavy-forward stance while raising his zwei-hander and directing the tip forward towards the Bosmer.

The bosmer stood tall and almost proper in his nature while a Cyrodillic wolf sat calmly by his legs as they sat firm and straight. He gave the nord a look of scoffed nature before he quickly grinned and dropped into a lowered stance in the snow. He dug his fingers into the deep, white, powder and then peeled forward with his elongated body into a sprint. His form a flicker in front of the Nord as he watched the Elf rush, before he could react though the Elf darted to the left on a sharp switched heel and then vanished behind a snow, only to re-appear behind the Nord and deliver a quick stab to the back of the neck just below the helmet. The Legenary Nord's life ended with a single strike, and a swift breath before falling upon his face in the snow in front of the Bosmer. The only thing that could be hard behind the whisper of the wind was the Bosmeri's alluring voice of smooth, low, suave tone.

"I'm an indestructible, force of nature."

Rawlith's tail slowed under the the coat and he swiveled on his toes to press his left knee into the rock as his body pivoted almost mechanically to observe the leaving Valerion. Rawlith's eyes shimmered and his low-light vision made everything clear is day, the male striding with confidence off into the distance. He then swiveled back around to Roze's partially submerged figure with his lips closed together and his eyes narrowed a moment before he stood up straight. "Hmm, this one has a few tricks of the trade. Though, this one never stated he had magic back at High Hrothgar." He explained while loosening his bonemold bracers. He slid them off and then slid his coat off his arms to left the fur long-coat and bracers drop gently behind, leaving him in his bonemold-plated leather boots, greaves, and leather chest-piece with a bonemold chest-plate.

He rested back down to sit on his heels once more while nodding softly. "This one will teach you what you want to learn, if I can, on one condition.." He stated giving her a Khajiit's stern look. "You have to let this one relax with you." He added to her while giving the Khajiiti grin. He then gently let his right arm lay hanging down into the water, his hand barely submerged into it, while he rolled his hand and fingers through the water.
I really want to post.. XD But I also want to wait for others. I plan to make a post for Varnadiir, to start a sort of Prologue for him.
