Played very differently in Marvel Ultimate Alliance, which allows the player to freely redistribute skill points at any Save Point, with the caveat that a skill can never be completely unlearned (must still have 1 point in it).The price increases by a couple orders of magnitude for a second reset.

There's also the Token of Absolution which is transmuted from an Essence of Hatred, Terror, and Destruction which are rarely dropped from the respective Prime Evils on Hell difficulty
