			While Monks can train in [[Spell Research]] more easily than Rogues or Warriors (costing 43% and 68% fewer training points respectively), Monks can reconcile being the "most magical square" with Kroderine Soul through the use of a specific feat: [[Mental Acuity]]. This feat enables KS for Monks by allowing the first 20 ranks of the [[Minor Mental]] spell circle as a "freebie" (not losing Kroderine Soul status due to knowledge of these ranks) and casting those spells using Stamina, rather than Mana.
	Coming Soon

			This allows Monks the unique playstyle of being able to spell up using [[Iron Skin]] and [[Dragonclaw]], utility spells like [[Vision]], etc. while gaining the protections of Kroderine Soul.

The spells will simply fizzle if someone attempts to cast them on a KS character.

	Warriors are the least reliant on magic of the three professions and can easily learn Kroderine Soul straight out of character creation. For new characters, this may even be desirable since they won't develop habits that rely on having a spell-up they'll need to unlearn if they pick up KS later in their ~~carrier~~. KS remains viable through-out a warrior's career, though those that achieve ten million or more experience post-cap may find more benefit learning spells if they're looking to min/max.

	While Kroderine Soul can be learned by ~~and~~ warrior, rogue, or monk, whether or not it's right for any particular character is going to depend on their playing style. Those that rarely or never hunt with defensive spells on them will experience few, if any, drawbacks. However, those that rely heavily on spell-ups for hunting may have a significant adjustment period and will be the most likely to regret learning Kroderine Soul. Anyone thinking about learning this feat would be well advised to make sure they still have their annual [[Fixskills\|fixskills]] available to them unless they want to be stuck with it until May 20 rolls around again.

[[Kroderine Soul]] (also referred to as "KS") is a [[feat]] available to [[warrior]]s, [[rogue]]s, and [[monks]] and may be learned at any level.

*Increased Physical [[Redux]]
*Redux will also apply to damage from magical sources
**Magical Damage Reduction will be slightly lower than Physical Damage Reduction
*Duration of hostile spell effects is capped at 20 sec.
