Academy is the knowledge tag centered on Grimoire abilities — your special skills. The Academy Grimoire build cuts cooldowns and raises Grimoire Damage so you cast far more often and harder.
It is the glue build: pair it with any element (Ember, Storm, Glacier) to make those skills fire relentlessly.
Cooldown Refund
Academy Fountain Pen refunds Grimoire cooldowns on successful evasion, and Academy Brigandine grants Grimoire Haste. Together they compress your skill rotation dramatically.
Damage Scaling
Empty Hilt raises Grimoire Damage directly. Stack it with element skills (Meteor Shower, Judgment of Thunder) for a constant spell stream.
