Levelling essences?

[espeorb]

Hmm... well I've been playing build 008, and last time I played an earlier build I remember, as a monster, being able to level Essences - or, rather, increase their attributes with skill points. Am I missing something, or is this feature gone? I looked through the commands list and the 'N' key which, IIRC, levels items (if they can be) as well as names them, only does the latter.
EDIT: Nevermind, it's only certain essences that are levellable now. Heh.

On a different topic, how do you play music when you're not a Bard? Just curious.

You can use Music as soon as you place points in the Music skill. It's the 'h' command.

I will soon post a new patch with rebalanced songs, Music shops and some tweaks to make the Bard more playable. Until then, you'll probably find Music to be too expensive, especially as a Monster.
