There are many locations in Karigor that offer a boost to the player characters' attributes. These opportunities come in the form of wells, pedestals, tests, and other objects. Some of these attribute boosts are temporary, but others are permanent. Like equipment and experience, they are a main course to turn a vulnerable, whimpy player character into an almost invincible hero.
