Q: I’m still confused.

A: As long as you study only 2 neighbouring elements on the elemental chart you are fine.

Q: I mean I’m confused by how do I gain so much inner art in the first place.
A: All inner arts have an element or have no element (Hunyuan). Hunyuan inner arts gives you equal amount of 5 elements. The others give you a set
amount of X element (related to its rank), plus, if the element that overcomes it does not exceed it (which shouldn’t unless you are Hunyuan), a bonus of
the same amount. This quickly lets you build hundreds of inner art without having to learn everywhere.

Q: I’m in a weakened state. How should I get out of it?

A: In general you have a few methods available:
- Gain more of the right inner arts and stop gaining the offending inner arts. Know what elements doesn’t like each other;
- Some inner arts can transmute inner arts of one element into another. Try to transmute offending elements into an neighbouring element;
- Learn the element in between the offending elements and change your element, but you have to make a choice between either element;
- If you die you have the option to expunge a certain martial art skill. Besides switching between orthodoxy and heterodoxy it can be used to reduce
inner art of a wrong colour;
- Take the cake and go Hunyuan.

Q: Besides able to use all skills, Is there any specific reason to go hunyuan?
A: Not really. If you study three consecutive elements, let the middle element be the strongest one, and only use the first 2 elements, you will still have
the same amount of inner art compared to Hunyuan. Even if you forgo the third colour you still have 80% of inner arts, and since the points you can
allocate grows by approximately the square root of your inner art, you are actually ~90% as effective as your hunyuan self.
