Well of the Mind and Guiding Lights
Well of the Mind
The Well of the Mind is a unique customization element specific to the main character where you can unlock classes, skills, spells, and stat increases by using Mind Pearls. Mind Pearls can be obtained by collecting and using Guiding Lights to unlock clouded areas of the Well.
Warning
Skill, spell, proficiency, and class nodes are always in the same location. Every time you reset the Well, however, stat and type change nodes reset. Sometimes they seem to change location, but other times they actually don't show up at all. For example, it is possible to have 3 Surety nodes on one reset and just 1 Surety node on another reset.
