I dont frickin g care anymore heres a simplified what I WAS GONNA WRITE BUT SOME FRICKING TRASH WIKI MECHANIC SCREWED IT UP
Technique
A technique is an active ability. For reference and to avoid confusion, techniques are active abilities, while skills are passive abilities. Techniques are activated: once theyre activated, techniques perform their job, and a cooldown begins before they can be used again.
Skill
A skill, as previously said, is a passive ability. Some passive abilities can be toggled; others cannot. An example of a toggled passive ability is Dual Wield. Dual Wield allows the player to hold two swords. Toggled passive abilities are toggled on automatically when the player performs the action the ability allows them to do; in this case, hold 2 weapons/items. Some passive abilities may provide buffs to the player, movement speed bonuses, etc, but are not affinities or effects.
