Hello. I'm pretty new to RPG Maker and its community, so forgive me if the answer is extremely obvious or has been asked somewhere else.

I've been trying to give a skill to one of my characters. It appears in the battle menu, yet it's greyed out. All of the settings seem to be just fine, compared to the skills I've added before, but I can't use this one. I've tried everything I know.

Currently, the skill is for a dagger weapon type, the actor has a dagger equipped, his class enables daggers, the skill is even added to the specific actor, his class has a skill type special added as well as his weapon. Before, I had enabled his class to have the ability to learn the skill at LVL 1, yet it still was grayed out. It costs no MP/TP as of right now. I have a character with the exact same settings but using a different weapon, skill, and class, and they work perfectly fine. Yet there seems to be a problem with this one in particular, and I don't understand. Does it have something to do with the classes, the weapons?

Here are some screenshots of the settings. If I need to provide anything else, just say so.
The skill I'm trying to add:


The skill that already works, with similar settings:


The character I'm trying to get to work:


This is the character that works fine:

That happens when the Actor doesn't have the appropiate weapons equipped, did you make sure to equip them correctly when battle testing?

Yeah. Both actors have the correct weapons equipped.

Hmm...In that case, what about the actors and/or their classes?

In that case, i'm stumped! You could try saving and closing the project, then restarting RPG Maker. It might have something to do with it?

How does the one that works not have the special skill type added in the class? You shouldn't be able to use it on that one. Do you have any traits on the actors themselves?

Couple hours of work. Might use in my game as a secret find or something. Not sure. Fancy though no? :D
Holy stink, where have I been? Well, I started my temporary job this week. So less time to spend on game design... :(
Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
