Blood Arts

Description
New weapon skills. Most are gained through natural usage of equipment, while some require specific missions to unlock them. For example, continously using the square buttons in combat will lead it to evolve into a better combo. The skills are not tied to your equipment, so it can be seen an an evolution of the character. NPCs have their own missions seperate from the storyline which when completed, grant them improved Blood Arts. The concept sounds similar to the Phantasy Star Portable series's Photon Arts. It is unclear whether Blood Arts deal additional damage/range or are just improved aesthetics.
