 The ability also enables the character to distinguish the '''quality of [[Workmanship|workmanship]]''' of the item.  All manufactured items are measured by their maker.  Most items have an "ordinary" quality.  Progressively, better qualities are recognized as "fine quality," "highly crafted," "excellent work," "brilliant work," "masterwork," "magnificent" or "genius."  The quality of an object depends upon the [[Knowledge Points|knowledge]] of the craftsperson responsible.
-As quality improves, it's monetary value does as well, so that a "fine quality" object averages to be 2.3 times as valuable as an ordinary object.  A "highly crafted" object averages to be 2.3 times as valuable as a fine quality object.  This progression in value continues with each higher stage of quality, so that "genius" object will be more than 200 times as valuable as an ordinary one.  Better than genius objects are "masterpieces," which have no fixed price, but which are always considered better than genius in make.

-Materials and manufactures are measured in value according to their origin and design.  '''Gemstones''' can be recognized as "ornamental", "fancy", "semi-precious", "lesser precious" and "greater precious" depending on the mineral nature of the gem and its worldwide rarity.  '''Ales''' such as lager, porter and stout will have different values, as will '''distilled spirits''' and varieties of '''wine'''.  There are many kinds of '''cloth''', measured by weight, rarity and desirability.  '''Woods''', '''incense''', '''perfume''', '''spices''' and other substances will likewise be measured.  Even a standard like '''Gold''' depends on how pure the metal is, or what combination of other metals it is alloyed with.  The value of things is not a simple matter.
