Mastery over Insects

"'Understanding of insects. You can hear and talk with insects of all sizes.'"A skill that enables a person to communicate with all insectoid beings. It is associated with the God of the Depths, the master of all insects, and is one of the possible starting skills for The Dark Priest.

With the skill, the player can interact with cockroaches spread hidden throughout the game - this provides bits and pieces of unique lore and dialogue, and the insect NPCs will sometimes offer gifts or hints to the player. This is most useful in Ma'habre, where there is a large number of insects hidden throughout.

The skill is also used to interact with the Cockroach King in the Thicket.

The skill also leads to several unique dialogue options when encountering insectoid enemies - Spiders and Scarabs (making it possible to avoid the Scarab encounter altogether).
