MM3 Secondary Skills add capabilities to your party and there are 17 skills to find and purchase. Some skills benefit the character and some skills benefit the party as a whole. Check the Party page here for more details about building your party.
All secondary skills are found in town, castles, or dungeons and sometimes they are free and sometimes they cost gold or gems. There is no limit to how many secondary skills that each character can learn. Thievery is not trainable. Astrologer, Prayer Master, and Prestidigitator are class specific.

For any given class the total cost to buy all the skills is max 22,275 gold and 550 Gems. Such is the cost of convenience.
