FS#8047 - Ability to make book replicas / copy them
Request would be
- A skill / ability to copy books / to produce replicas of them
- Some central books could also be made available in the compendium (memory items - example: useful for crafting books where the avatar learns that knowledge anyway)
For the non compendium skill to make replicas:
- Could be learned in a library OR
a scriptorium / manuscript workshop could be added to the game where you can learn the ability
- Maybe requiring ink, paper etc. as materials
- Could take time while doing it
- Could be affected by int
- Could have aditional skills like magic based scribing, utilizing different ressources but producing higher quality works
- Could be made so that books are identifyable as copies
Notably:
- Having different qualities depending on skill level (similar to mining)
- Copied books could have a feature of decay / wearing out by reading them
- Copies should indicate it’s a copy by saying “Replica of: ___”
- Copied manuscripts could be denied from copying them again, having to go to the original source for another copy
Sorry, the formatting broke and I don't have edit permissions so here's a cleaned up version:
For the non compendium skill to make replicas:
- a skill / ability to copy books / to produce replicas of them
