Ok thanks, but I just can't believe it's so easy...

oh, and for the three sorceress masteries, I'm sure of it now : an elemental mastery applies on the tab it appears, no matter the element of the skills. for example, if i put the three masteries with some skills (let's say frozen orb, thunderstorm and hydra) on the same tab, i'll get extra-giga-powerful-boosted spells : +50 from LM, +30 from FM, and -23% monster resist from CM...

on the other side, if I put the three masteries on an isolate tab with for example teleport and such non-damaging spells, the masteries will do NOTHING...

one last thing : i wonder what happens if i put a mastery on a charm... will it apply on all the trees, or not at all?

Actually that won't hide your skills at all. You need to edit skills.txt, put 0s in skillpage, column, and row.

Editing the background is if you don't want those wierd empty boxes lying around.

Actually the masteries aren't that straightforward.

I've done a lot of shifting around and altering of elemental types, and I find that sometimes they will apply to a skill in that tab and sometimes not. You have to test each skill individually to know for sure.

And a reduction in the monster's cold resistance doesn't do much good if it's a fire spell or lightning spell, you know....
