<a href="http://uo.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/special-moves-book.gif"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-3735" src="http://uo.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/special-moves-book.gif" alt="special-moves-book" width="150" height="87" /></a>Warriors have the ability to expend their Mana to perform intricate maneuvers with their weapons to devastating effect. Each weapon type in the game has a unique combination of a primary and a secondary special move. The first (primary) special move can be executed by 'Expert' warriors, ie those with 70 skill. The second special move requires that the warrior attain 'Master' level in their skill (90). Only real skill points are taken into account for this, skill enhancing jewels or other items are not counted. In most cases a complementary skill is required to perform these maneuvers. This is normally tactics, however there are a few exceptions. Tactics requirement, where it applies, is 30 skill for primary moves and 60 skill for secondary moves. <h4>Book Location - Classic Client</h4> The special moves book appears in the paper doll by your feet, on the right. A purple book with a dagger on the spine, double click to open. The opened book is pictured above, it shows 2 icons which change according to what weapon you have in your hand. These icons can be dragged to the playscreen in the same way as spells can be dragged from a spell book. <h4>Book Location - Enhanced Client</h4> The 'character abilities' icon appears in the paper doll above the character's head on the left, a hand holding a sword. Double click this to open a book showing not only the special moves but also the character's racial abilities. These icons can be dragged to hotbar slots or into macros. <h3>Mana Cost</h3> The Mana Cost of each special move can be reduced if the warrior's skills are high enough. Add up the skill points for Swords, Mace Fighting, Fencing, Archery, Throwing, Parrying, Lumberjacking, Stealth, Poisoning, Bushido and Ninjitsu. If the total lies between 200 and 299, subtract 5 from the Mana Cost. If the total is 300 or more, subtract 10 from the Mana Cost. The cost can be further reduced by the wearing of items having the 'lower mana cost' property, however the cost is increased if the moves are repeated too swiftly. Using a special move within 3 seconds of the previous special move costs double mana, however if your special move is parried, there will be no mana cost unless the move is one requiring Bushido or Ninjitsu. The table below gives a brief description of all special moves, the weapons they can be found on and their basic mana cost.
