The characters in the game have a fixed set of equipment, including up to two weapon options, plus six spells or skills, which they gain as they progress through the game. Each time characters gain a level, they receive a point to improve their attributes (strength, constitution, agility, vivacity, intelligence and wisdom), and every two or three levels they receive a point to improve their skills. As you explore the world, you also find special chests with glyphs in them, and these glyphs are what you use to improve your characters' equipment (enemies never drop anything). Each glyph gives you a choice between two possibilities, such as increasing physical versus magical protection, or improving one character's damage versus the entire squad's damage.
As an example, the squad you start with in the game includes Darius, the leader (and perhaps main character of the game), who can use skills like Exaltation of Soldiers to improve the to-hit bonus of his squad, and Frontal Assault to damage and taunt opponents; Lanwys, a "thallion," who can use Divine Favor to heal nearby allies, and Cleansing to debuff and heal; Lothaire, an inquisitor, who can use Flaming Weapon to improve the weapon of an ally, and Quietude to silence an enemy caster; and Zelia, a pyromancer, who can use Meteor to damage enemies in an area, and Stun to immobilize an enemy for a few seconds.
