You can forge weapons at any merchant standing next to every campfire in the game.

For me this happened at the campfire after leaving Messia 224, after Rinwell joined the party. Another Day, Another Wall: Unlocked after spending time (bonus dialogue) with a companion at a campfire for the first time.Emissary of Liberation: Automatically unlocked after Main Quest “Taking Down Balseph”.Blazing Sword: Automatically unlocked during Main Quest “Taking Down Balseph”.Rebellious Spark: Automatically unlocked during Prologue.Iron Mask: Automatically unlocked during Prologue.Skills provide a mix of passive stat boosts and usable new attacks and spells.

These don’t count towards trophies & achievements at all and are not necessary. There are also 3 DLC skill panels per character at the time of the game’s release.
