Incidentally, has Drifa mastered Reinforce and Hone, the absolute basics of combat?
The thing about those two tricks specifically is that, while the knowledge of them isn't restricted or anything, the actual steps behind how it works is a bit... well, it's expected that you figure it out on your own. This is to evoke how the Norse actually fought in battles.
The Norse didn't really have any organized training systems. Heck, the inclusion of combat training at all in this quest could very well be a bit ahistorical — though I find that possibility very unlikely, it's true that there isn't actually any evidence that the average Norseman trained (as far as I am aware, anyways). In combat, the Norse fought half-instinctually and half-methodically. There might be some overarching plot or tactic, but the actual steps you take to get there are simply whatever feels right in that moment. A spear is thrown at you, catch it and throw it back. Someone steps forward to aim a spear at your face, dodge and take their leg. A man charges at you, drop your weapon, grapple him, and break his back over a conveniently placed rock.
Yet, they planned out where to fight somebody to give themselves the most tools possible to battle with. Rocks, of course, are the kings of combat an-
...This is turning into a bit of a ramble, my apologies.
In all actuality, there isn't actually a difference between you teaching her how to do it and just that it exists as it achieves the same result anyways, so it doesn't matter and it's semantics.
Do we know Drifa's fighting style?
Hasn't developed one yet. At the moment, it's 'hit them harder than they hit you.'
