Tidal Affinity

Tidal Affinity is a Exploration skill in Torment: Tides of Numenera.

Overview
Unlocks more difficult Tidal Surge options.

Allows the Last Castoff greater control and finesse with the Tides, granting access to increasingly complex ways of manipulating people and objects with those forces with Tidal Surges.

Availability
The player can first become Trained in this skill during the Beloved Slave quest, by resolving the conflict with Tol Maguur without a fight.

Another chance to learn the skill comes from Melmoth Leviarm in Miel Avest, once Aadiriis directs you to speak with him about the Tides. This will not upgrade it to the Specialized level here if you already have it from Tol Maguur.

The skill's level can be raised by speaking to Kwherezimian in the Bloom.
