Crafting
Den-Planning Intuition
Cost: 5m; Mins: Intelligence 4, Essence 3
Type: Supplemental
Keywords: Combo-OK
Duration: Instant
Prerequisite Charms: Any Intelligence Excellency
The Lunar's plans take shape with great rapidity. This supplements any Intelligence-based dramatic action, such as designing a manse, forging objects or artifacts, planning strategies for war, and so on. The action is sped up by a factor of the Lunar's Essence (thus with Essence 3, a strategy session that requires one hour to undertake is complete in twenty minutes, a manse receives three rolls per month for designing rather than one, and so on]
Weaving Spider's Alacrity
Cost: -- (+5m1wp), Mins: Intelligence 5, Essence 5
Type: Permanent
Keywords: None
Duration: Permanent
Prerequisite Charms: Den-Planning Intuition
A Lunar's thoughts occur with the lightning speed of flowing moonsilver, fluidly adapting as surely as the moon's face changes. This augments its' prerequisite; for a 5m1wp surcharge, the Lunar may add her Intelligence to the speed factor (raising it to make such projects occur (her Essence+Intelligence) faster.)
