 '''Assay''' is an [[Knowledge Points|amateur]]-status [[Sage Ability|sage ability]] in the [[Sage Study|study]] of [[Geology (sage study)|Geology]] that enables the crucial skill of determining the composition and purity of mineral ores.  The character is thus able to establish the quantity of precious metals, like gold or silver, within a particular ore sample.  Gemstones and value of same can also be determined.

-Assayers are assumed to possess a foundational knowledge and understanding of the common ores in the region and their typical appearances; the behavior of various metals when exposed to heat, acid or other chemicals; and basic arithmetic to calculate percentages or ratios of metal content.

-Detailed, precise assessment of all contents requires the use of a [[Laboratory|laboratory]] that includes a mortar and pestle, a means of heating ore in a furnace, tongs and heat-resistant tools, a small store of lead metal, balance scales a crucible called a "cupel," a touchstone and acid vials containing vitriol and aqua regia.

 Before any chemical processes, the assayer visually inspects the ore for telltale signs of valuable metals or impurities. This includes looking at color, texture, and weight. A heavy ore, for instance, indicates the presence of a denser metal.  The ore is crushed into a fine powder using a mortar and pestle. This makes it easier to separate the constituents of the ore.  A sample of the metal on a touchstone (a smooth, dark stone) and comparing the streak it leaves behind with streaks from metals of known purity.
