The Skill Theft: Unearned Lesson encounter is a unique mini-game in Where Winds Meet where you “steal” a Mystic Skill instead of earning it the normal way. Success requires timing, positioning, and patience, but once you nail it, you unlock the Veil of Stillness, a powerful Mystic Skill with stealthy utility effects, as well as enabling you to learn skills by stealing them.
