Introduction
------------

This is my comprehensive list of all the skills in Magic Pengel. When
I make a new doodle, I usually try to make it in a way so that it will
have some of my favorite abilities.  What doodles can do is a huge
factor in the way they fight.  So I figured if I made a list of
all the skills and how to get them, it'd be a huge help to a lot of
gamers.  Add the fact that Magic Pengel is almost completely devoid
of guides, and I've got a good reason to write this thing.  So read
on, and I hope this helps you to create your best doodles!


-----------
Explanation
-----------

This is mostly self explanatory, but here's how this guide works:
#X (Ability)
Type: X
Damage: X
How to get: XXX
*Effect: XXX

*Only appears on Block and Magic types

The first line is the number of the skill as its listed in the
encyclopedia and the ability name.  The next is the type that that
skill is classified as.  Damage is ranked either as Minimal, Moderate,
Heavy, or Maximum.  The effect is simply what the skill does.
Finally, "How to get" is the tricky part.  Mostly, its just what
parts or body type the doodle needs for that skill, but its not always
that simple.  For example, the only description of faint is that magic
types are more likely to have it, but not all magic doodles have
faint.  But for more in-depth explanations, check at the bottom of the
list.

With Magic and Block type attacks, the damage is listed as varies.
That's because it changes as your doodle grows more powerful.
The block abilities upgrade several times throughout the game,
and Magic is affected by its level.  I'm not positive what determines
the level, but its probably based off of how well you follow the
guidelines or how much ink your doodle uses.  Higher level spells
are also more likely to successfully give a status.


-------------
Damage Levels
-------------

Many attacks change into a new ability based on how high your attack
is.  The ranges are 'roughly' as follows:
30 and below: Low Attack
31-50: *Moderate attack
80-110: High Attack
110 and above: Very High Attack

*When Moderate Attack is required, there will be no mention of attack
strength.


--------------
Confusing Bits
--------------

There are a couple things in the list that don't make a lot of sense,
so this is to clear them up.

"Many accessories"- This means your doodle must have lots of accessory
 parts, which means the soft, wiggle and rotate parts.  Most skills
 with this requirement become unavailable if there are arms, legs,
 wings, weapons, or hard parts.
"X Color"-This means the doodle must be dominantly a certain color
 to learn the skill.  And it must be mostly the specified color, not
 just something that looks similar.  The only exception is gray, where
 black and white are acceptable.
"Flight"-The doodle must be able to fly.  Not just have wings, but actually
 lift off the ground.
"Low/high/very high attack"- This is what attack range is required for a
 skill, as explained in the above section.  If a moderate attack is needed,
"Thin/Thick weapon"-The doodle must be holding a weapon drawn with either
 a thick or thin brush.
"X Type"- The doodle must be one of the listed types to learn the skill.
"Large/Wide/small body"- A simple description of what the doodle's shape
 must be.  It's not entirely based off the body piece, because doodles
 may change these skills as you add new parts.
"Arms/Legs/Wings"- A simple description of what parts are needed.
"Tail"- Basically, a tail.  Make it with a soft part from behind the doodle.
"Horn"- The doodle must have a single horn on its head.  Just draw a hard
 part in a horn shape off the top of a doodles head.
"Mouth"- The doodle's head part must be drawn to have a mouth.  Just think
 Pac-Man.
