By way of example, consider a [[Mace Fighter]] that would like to add [[Chivalry]], but lacks the intelligence, and therefore mana, to be viable. The character could first practice [[Evaluate Intelligence]] until she gains 2 or 3 skill points, at which point she could switch to [[Tracking]] and draw down the 2 or 3 points from Evaluate Intelligence. This process can be repeated, back and forth, until the intelligence stat is at the desired level. Both skills have a primary intelligence association and neither skill requires any resources.
