What to study

The level-up screen splits advancement into two readable lists, Active Skills and Passive Skills, each row carrying its own icon, value and plus button, so spending a point is a row-level decision rather than a wall of numbers. The parchment panel keeps the game's book aesthetic while the 3D model of Aloth stands beside it, and the bottom banner states exactly what Level 4 grants (1 Active Skill Point, 1 Passive Skill Point, 1 new Wizard ability, 1 new Weapon Proficiency) with the three advancement steps tracked as shield icons. Frame at about 37.0s in the Features Trailer (Steam). No trailer burn-in or caption on this frame.
