'''Grasses & Grains''' is a [[Sage Study|sage study]] in the [[Sage Field|field]] of [[Plant Life (sage field)|Plant Life]] which bestows knowledge of herbaceous plants, including 'true' grasses, sedges and rushes, notably cereals, bamboo, water chestnuts, papyrus sedge and cattails. Grasses & Grains have long been raised for the production of food, brewing and distilling, pasture for cattle, thatch, paper, fuel, clothing, basket weaving and more. The knowledge included here allows for the preparation of grains for all of these, though in many cases only in terms of raw material.

Plants of this type have always been very important to the formulation of civilized culture. Though strictly not a grass or a grain, vegetable cultivation has been included into this study due to similarities in cultivation practices.

:Domestic Brewing: allows the fabrication of ales and beer for consumption.
:Farming: provides knowledge into the process of ploughing and tending land in preparation for grain harvesting.
:Land Suitability: recognizes land value and offers techniques to provide higher yields.
:Vegetable Gardening: enables valued ability in growing distinctive vegetable and tuber crops.

 :* '''[[Domestic Brewing (sage ability)|Domestic Brewing]]''': grants the means to produce ales and beers fit for household use, ensuring a steady supply of drink from the grains at hand. The brewer understands the careful balance of malt, water and fermentation, refining rough harvests into nourishing and palatable draughts.
-:* '''[[Farming (sage ability)|Farming]]''': provides the knowledge to prepare, plough and tend land for grain cultivation. The farmer discerns the right seasons, the turning of the soil and the proper care of crops from seed to harvest, securing a yield sufficient to sustain a household, a village or a greater estate.

 :* '''[[Land Suitability (sage ability)|Land Suitability]]''': bestows the ability to judge the quality and potential of land, recognising where soil is rich or barren, where drainage is sufficient and what improvements may be made. With such wisdom, greater harvests may be drawn from the same fields, ensuring both sustenance and profit.

-:* '''[[Stormweed (sage ability)|Stormweed]]''': a tangled grass that, when cultivated properly and laid around a field like a ring, drinks in the fury of storms, so that they produce a light, pleasant rain that's good for the crops, while restraining any possibility of hail, early frost or tornado.  Stormweed grows from late March until the first week of October, when it withers naturally, its strength spent. It cannot be sown again until the spring equinox, for it requires the balance of day and night to take root.  If not tended the weed may release the force of gathered storms, devastating the field.  The energy gathered lingers within the dried stalks of Stormweed long after; when bundled and burned, the release of this stored power produces a steady, regulated force, capable of driving a gristmill, bakery, brewery, or similarly sized enterprise for a full three months. Meanwhile, the resultant protected crop yields a bounty proportion.

+Through mastery of this study, a soul might learn to raise these plants for all their various uses, that the grain may be harvested and the reed set to purpose, though in many cases the skill shall extend only to the preparing of such materials, leaving the finer crafts to those so trained in their making.  The shepherd, knowing well the qualities of pasture, drives his flock to the richest grasses, that their wool may be soft and their flesh wholesome. The thatcher lays bundles of reed atop the house, keeping out both wind and rain. The scribe, setting pen to scroll, presses his thoughts into sheets of papyrus drawn from the marsh. Such is the bounty of the humble grasses, which, though they grow unbidden across the land, are the root and cause of many of mankind's most venerable arts.
