Detriments

There are eleven core detriments, or hindrances in Loricism; these are traits that prevent one from achieving self-mastery; while there are many other traits that inhibit success, these are simply the ones focused on primarily in Loricism. The goal of Ingenium, one of the three main elements of Loricism, is to remove these detriments through cultivation of a corresponding Virtue. Each detriment is covered under a corresponding Key to Mastery, which provides information and instructions on how to cultivate the virtues that inhibit its opposing detriment. These Keys are simply a means of helping one internalize, comprehend, and practice each virtue.
