 The character is capable of directing the construction of fundamental siege engines, including [[Trebuchet (siege engine)|trebuchets]], [[Catapult (siege engine)|catapults]], [[Mangonel (siege engine)|mangonels]] and [[Ballista (siege engine)|ballistae]]. Additional equipment includes [[Siege Tower|siege towers]] for advancing troops, [[Battering Ram (siege engine)|battering rams]] for breaching doors and gates and [[Portable Shield|portable shields]] to protect advancing forces. Defensive measures such as the [[Oil Smelter|oil smelter]], ladders and grappling hooks are also included within the scope of this ability. Siege engines may be designed as stationary fortifications upon castle walls or as mobile structures mounted on wheels, pushed by soldiers or dragged by animals. However, this amateur-level ability only permits the fabrication of conventional siege weapons; innovation, modification and the development of mystical or advanced weaponry, such as the [[Chinese Cannon (weapon)|Chinese cannon]], remain beyond the character's expertise.
-The specifics of each construction are detailed in the links provided. While the ability grants an [[Apprentice Artillerist (sage ability)|apprentice's knowledge]] of siege weaponry, it does not extend to the operation, aiming or tactical use of such devices. The character cannot independently manage an artillery [[Crew (artillery)|crew]] or ensure accurate firing.

 In addition to technical knowledge, the character possesses an understanding of the materials required to build siege weapons. This includes the ability to assess and source suitable wood for structural components and ammunition, as well as identifying quarries or natural stone outcroppings suitable for construction or projectile crafting. If necessary, the character can determine whether siege materials should be procured through purchase or harvested from the surrounding environment.

-Grants material knowledge of devices designed to break or circumvent [[Castle|castle]] doors and walls, or enable attacking soldiers to scale walls and attack the defenders; and likewise, to enable defenders to prevent sieges.  The ability enables the character to direct unskilled persons in the fabrication of these, so that with the necessary materials it is possible to build [[Trebuchet (weapon)|trebuchets]], [[Catapult (weapon)|catapults]], [[Mangonel (weapon)|mangonels]], [[Ballista (weapon)|ballistae]], [[Siege Tower|siege towers]], [[Battering Ram (weapon)|battering rams]], [[Portable Shield|portable shields]], [[Oil Smelter|oil smelters]] and like machines, including ladders and hooks.  These may be made to rest upon castle walls or mounted on wheels, pushed by soldiers or dragged by animals; the amateur ability, however, only enables the character to fabricate the most familiar forms of these engines.  Innovation is not permitted, nor is the creation of mystical weapons such as the [[Chinese Cannon (weapon)|Chinese cannon]].
