Enlightenment - Manual
Added 2021-09-08 22:03:14 +0000 UTC
Enlightenment is the ability to understand the deeper meaning of various topics. While this seems vague, acquiring enlightenment mastery on a specific topic will allow you to gain rewards and often times perks that will enhance Bai Huan's life.
For example, by mastering The Art Of War (I) , Bai Huan can then gain the ability to gauge an enemy's health in battle -- along with a stat increase across the board.

Therefore , it's almost always worth it to acquire new esoteric topics and work towards mastering them. This can be done by selecting a topic from the enlightenment screen and going about your day. This will reward small amounts of enlightenment as you ponder the meaning subconsciously. Conversely, you can also use Enlightenment training to focus the process.
