Composing

There are times when you want to create your own music. As with many bards who have made history, learn this skill if you want to express the stories and images of life through your own music. You don't have to just play other people's scores, but can create your own.

Details
(*- Also sold in Briana's shop)   (**- Also sold in Briana's or Aeria's shop)
 * The Compose skill allows the player to input strings of MML (Music Macro Language, do not confuse with the XML-based language of the same name) into 3 separate fields to create a playable Score Scroll.
 * The player must have a Score Scroll in their inventory to use the skill.
 * Once inscribed, the MML within a score scroll cannot be altered.
 * Higher ranks allow for more complex and lengthy songs.
 * The player's rank of the skill Musical Knowledge will determine the Grade of the scroll created.
 * It is possible to create a Score Scroll that will produce magical effects upon being used. (Requires both Composing and Musical Knowledge Rank 9)
 * Each scroll created can only be used 100 times.
 * Because of the large amount of INT given per rank and low AP usage, it is a popular skill to learn for those who use magic.
 * Books that rank D, C**, B*, and A* are sold Nele's Secret shop. To access this shop, Nele must feel very friendly towards you. To make him like you, you need to Gift him many candles, which you can buy from any church in Erinn for 100 gold each, as well as talk to him. Completing his part-time job can help as well. Once he likes you, the book will then be sold in his normal shop. There is no message telling you whether or not the item is available, so you must check the shop manually yourself.
