Add skill up books for automaton combat skills

[Dzspdref]

forgive me if i take VERY fast with a grain of salt, you only have percolator and water maneuvers. your automaton doesn't benefit from skill up food, rhapsody bonuses, or master equipment.

There are other things that affect the skill up rate on attachments other than just water and percolator, such as how, what, when it casts spells.
Also can affect how often, which type, what target, type of spells, etc... by use of maneuvers and attachments.
I had to figure all that out the first few weeks PUP came out before we HAD any info online.
Play, try, adjust, take notes, etc... and you'll see how easy it is to control the robot with what you use and do.
The order you use maneuvers, and how MANY maneuvers you use HIGHLY affects how your robot reacts and casts spells. Also remember the types of Animator affects commands, too.
Give it a try and experiment and don't just blindly use internet for help.
That's how I had to do it, but I am patient enough to teach myself stuff and learn by observation and note taking, and not just blindly follow the web that is not as helpful as it can be.
