Aardwolf adventurers can become so practiced in the art of a particular
physical damage type or magical focus that any damage they inflict of that
type gains an automatic increase.

Masteries are earned by spending quest points and gold at a suitable
trainer.

Important Notes:

* Mastery points are not percentages. Each additional point of
  mastery decreases the higher it gets.

  For example, a permanent 5% increase in a damage type requires 17
  points of mastery, 10% requires 38 points, 20% requires 104 points
  and 30% requires 260. 30% is the practical max, the theoretical max
  is 40% at 1000 points but would require 10 million qps to reach.

* Masteries save over tiers, once they are bought they are kept
  forever. Masteries can be reassigned, for a price, by using 'mastery
  rebuild' and are also rebuilt automatically whenever you retier or
  classchange.

* This is a very expensive damage bonus intended for higher
  levels. If you do not yet have a good collection of quest equipment
  or wishes, your quest points are almost definitely better spent
  in those areas. It might be worth getting a few percent in your
  favorite damtype, but otherwise save these until later.


Rebuilding Masteries:

NOTE:
July 2023 - Mastery rebuild is now included with classchange
(see HELP CLASSCHANGE) and is available free of charge every 7 days.
Details from the old helpfile are below. This command is still available
and the cost has been reduced to 500qp if you want to mastery rebuild
between class changes.

It is possible to re-assign your masteries using 'mastery rebuild'.
The base cost for using 'mastery rebuild' is 2% of the total quest points
you have invested in masteries with a max cost of 500qp. If 2% of your
total invested comes out higher than these numbers you will pay the lower
amount. Mastery rebuild cost reduces by 1% for each day since you last
used it and, after 100 days, will be free. Each player also starts the
game with a single free mastery rebuild.

When you rebuild masteries, the amount refunded is deposited and made
available to spend on other masteries. Note that it is not available to
spend on anything other than masteries.

Use 'mastery totals' to see the total you have spent on masteries so far
and 'mastery check' to see your rebuild costs. Any qp or gold already
deposited into masteries will be shown whenever you use the 'mastery'
command, and will be used up first whenever you buy masteries.
