Craft

The Ability of Craft covers an enormous breadth of skill. It can be broken down into different categories, and most crafters will be better at some than others. The mundane crafts are also used for normal Artifacts by those who can manipulate Essence (mostly the Exalted).

Mundane Craft

Craft (Air)

Small, high-precision items. Examples include: Calligraphy, jewellery, precision instruments, glassblowing

Craft (Earth)

Buildings and other large objects made of stone or earth. Examples: Masonry, stone-cutting, earthworks

Craft (Fire)

Forging & casting, creating objects using fire. Examples: Blacksmithing, sword-smithing, ceramics

Craft (Water)

Boiling and cooking plants, chemicals, and animal materials. Examples: Cooking, brewing, leather-working, pharmacy

Craft (Wood)

Carving, weaving and manipulating natural materials. Examples: Carpentry, spinning, weaving, flower arranging

Exotic Craft

These additional types of crafting are not normally covered by the Ability without a Stunt or other explanation. There may be others than the below.

Craft (Fate)

Weave Fate into Destiny on the Loom. You think that in another life you knew what that meant.

Craft (Genesis)

Manipulating life itself, to create such things as the heroin-pissing dinosaurs or the Legion of Silence. Requires some very advanced tools and strange gloopy raw materials.

Craft (Glamour)

The ability of the Fair Folk to shape chaos into near-reality, used with many of their Charms.

Craft (Magitech)

Used to craft more complicated (though not necessarily more powerful) Artifacts such as Warstriders - usually items that have moving parts and maintenance requirements.
