When playing The Chronicles of Spellborn®, you can be in either of two states at any given time: Unprepared or Prepared. You start the game Unprepared by default; allowing you to interact with Non-Player Characters. If you wish to fight with Non-Player Characters (or even other Player Characters) you will need to be Prepared. After rotating the maximum amount of Tiers allowed at the Player Character’s level, the next Tier available will be the first again. A Player Character can have up to 6 Tiers and 5 Columns available allowing access to a maximum of 30 individual Skills.
