* Choose the abilities to give your beast.
** You can only train abilities you yourself know in Beastmastery.

** If you make a mistake and give it too much Body, you can't get it back except by starting over using wackodoru reagent.
** Building the beast's Body, Mind, and Spirit also determines how much Health, Mana, and Ego it will have.
** Some abilities use Mana or Ego, so as you choose abilities, be sure your beast has enough Mana or Ego to power them, and enough Body to survive long enough to use them.
