 '''Strengthened Arm''' is an [[Knowledge Points|amateur]]-status [[Sage Ability|sage ability]] in the [[Sage Study|study]] of [[Puissance (sage study)|Puissance]].  Through dedicated training, the character has greatly enhanced the strength and endurance of their forearm, improving grip and the flexibility of their wrist joint and tendons. This coordination between the wrists, hands and forearms enables the character to maximize the effectiveness of [[Missile Weapons|hurled and fired weapons]] when used in [[Combat|combat]] providing a noticeable advantage in accuracy and force.
 __TOC__
-Much of this training is accomplished through manual labour often associated with farming, as tilling soil, harvesting crops and grinding grain provide an unusual fitness when combined with a hearty diet and time-honoured weapons training. Characters are also trained to carry heavy weights, work with their hands using shovels, chop wood and even pull plants from the ground. Young students often chafe at these labours but the practice succeeds in granting a strengthened arm to characters.
