Spoiler Warning: This page contains spoilers which may affect your IVAN experience negatively
Science-talking is when you talk to a character and it randomly generates a conversation which eventually improves intelligence and wisdom. The character must be friendly or tame.
If it is missing a symbol, then that stat is still increased, just not a lot. It's organized first by location then by requirements. Format is (how much it increases intelligence) (how much it increases wisdom) Name of character | intelligence requirement for science talk / wisdom requirement for science talk:
- Note: Tamed enemies are better for intelligence than wisdom.
- Note: The librarian is good for intelligence, and the frogs are good for wisdom (but have high requirements).
- Note: The banana growers are good but have a pretty low chance of talking. Kaethos the village elder is awesome. Richel Decos the imperialist has a 15 charisma requirement and improves charisma (barely).

So a general progression would be (some areas overlap):
- 10-20 int/wis: Talk to losers (banana growers, dog, mistresses, farmers, etc.), read holy books and simple scrolls, and sacrifice.
- 15 wis: Talk to Kaethos, he's awesome.
- 20 int: Talk to Haathbar (the librarian), he's super.
- 20-30 wis: Talk to the light frogs in the cathedral.
- 20-40 wis: Talk to angels (keep offering items to extremely pleased gods; an offering may spawn an angel. Since even cheap items work, sacrifice everything.)
- 10-20-25-35 int: Tame and chat with dungeon monsters. Make friends with mages, necromancers, and frogs, especially the mystical dark ones.
- 40+ wisdom: Spawn an archangel and she'll kick up your wisdom another four points. Spawn another, this is hard.
- 50 int / 50 wis : Chat with all the dolphins in the cathedral. I've never done this in a real game, but I just tried it in wizard mode and it boosted my int/wis from 50 to the 80's. Holy ****.
For a general idea of how much of an increase you can expect from a given creature:
- 2 stars ~ 1/2 point
- 3 stars ~ 1 point
- 4 stars ~ 2 points
