== {{msg:BASEPAGENAME}} Overview==
'''Phrenology''' lets you study the skulls of many types of enemies. Skulls are broken up into 3 tiers (normal/impressive/astonishing), and as you level up in each subskill you can study better skulls of that type. Phrenology gives bonuses to Mentalism and Psychology, as well as Mentalism/Psychology critical hit chance for each type of mob.

You can study skulls from most humanoid creatures (animal skulls can be extracted, but there's currently no Phrenology subskill for them). Extraction requires some version of a Skull Extractor and success depends on your [[ProjectGorgon:Butchering]] level.

=== In-Game Description ===
An understanding of how sentient creatures think and feel, based on careful study of the shape of their skulls. This base skill represents your overall Phrenological prowess. (Phrenology skills provide critical-hit chances to all Psychology and Mentalism attacks against the corresponding type of creature. Phrenology also has more esoteric uses.)

=== Training {{msg:BASEPAGENAME}} ===
* [[ProjectGorgon:Glajur]] in [[ProjectGorgon:Kur Tower]] will teach you Phrenology at Comfortable. He also sells some Phrenology recipes - anything he does not train has to be learned through scrolls.

== {{msg:BASEPAGENAME}} Mechanics ==
=== Studying Skulls ===
The actual act of studying requires Craniometers, which can be bought from [[ProjectGorgon:Glajur]] or [[ProjectGorgon:Amutasa]]. They have a 1% chance of breaking with every skull studied. Higher tiers of skulls require better Craniometers.

=== XP Gain ===
You get 20 XP for studying a normal skull, 50 for an Impressive skull, and 150 for an Astonishing skull.

=== Subskill Level Up Rewards ===
Each subskill will give the following rewards:

{{:{{msg:BASEPAGENAME}}/Level Up Rewards}}

== Phrenology Experience Table ==
[[ProjectGorgon:Phrenology]] is an umbrella skill. It has no experience table.

== Trivia ==
Without any bonuses, it takes 113 skulls to reach level 12 in a Phrenology subskill (which is enough to unlock the second tier of recipes, the ones which use {{ItemCategory|ImpressiveHumanoidSkull}}).

Crafting xp boosts affect the xp gained from each skull.

Phrenology appears to be a parody of the real-world pseudoscience of the same name.
