The heart and soul of your character, Skills determine your unique powers and abilities in Mush. Skills enable you to perform special actions, or grant you certain passive bonuses that can determine the success of the Magellan project, depending on how they are used.

Unknown Character characters initially have a selection of about 5 to 6 Skills available, which can be unlocked by spending Experience on the character and then selected during the game. Once a Skill has been chosen, it will remain until the end of the round and cannot be re-picked until then. How many Skills can be active at the same time depends on the player's active Game Mode (1 for Bronze, 2 for Silver and 4 for Gold Mode).

Players on the side of The Mush have an secondary set of Skills with its own, separate XP curve and Skill Slots at their disposal. To balance things out, they lose the ability to use some of their previous Skills; these are marked as Lost if Mush in the below tables. If you play as Mush and the crew turns you back to Unknown Character with the injection of the Retro-Fungal Serum, you will get the choice of re-picking your character's skills.

Mage Books

These consumable items can be found during the game and grant the user a Skill beyond their maximum number of Skill slots, lasting until the end of the game.

Astrophysicist	Biologist	Botanist	Chef
Diplomat	Firefighter	IT Expert	Logistics Expert
Medic	Pilot	Radio Expert	Robotics Expert
Shooter	Shrink	Sprinter	Technician

Each character can use one Mage Book per game.

The agents of Mush also lurk aboard the Daedalus, their identities unknown to the crew, but their shroomy presence felt everywhere. When equipment mysteriously erupts into flames and crewmembers come down with biting diseases, it's safe to assume a Mush is behind the deed.
