Turning (sage study).jpg

Turning is a sage study in the field of Woodworking, allowing characters to take rough wood and shape it into finished objects or parts for tools, furnishings and other common uses. With this study, a character may produce or replace tool handles, staves, clubs and wands; pegs, pins and small fittings; legs, rails and shaped pieces for furniture; bowls, cups and containers; as well as carved figures, tokens and other small objects. The study allows such items to be made from raw stock, matched to existing pieces, or remade to restore damaged or incomplete goods, so that tools may be used again, furniture stands properly, and everyday objects are returned to service instead of discarded.

This work may be done wherever suitable wood and tools are at hand, whether shaping a branch into a usable staff, cutting a replacement handle for a broken axe, or producing a set of matching parts to complete or repair an item. Where an object must be duplicated or brought into agreement with others, the character can judge and shape the work so that it fits and serves its purpose. In settlements or workshops, this extends to supplying common goods for use or trade; in the field, it allows necessary items to be made or repaired as circumstances demand.

The study also allows the character to make and repair wooden weapons, shaping staves, hurling or firing weapons, and repair such when they are damaged. Further, as the character's skill improves, this allows the ability to create more accurate such devices, as well as magically infused items ranging from weapons to staves, rods or wands, once sufficient knowledge has been acquired.
