To whittle, you must have an imbued wand that is appropriate for carving in your left hand. Then just TAP your knife. Remember that you will get better the more you whittle; but if someone else uses the knife, the next time you attempt to carve anything, it will be as if you are new to the art of whittling.

==Additional Information==
Upon mastering the painting skill, a Master Painter can use a T1 easel to paint another character using one of several pre-written styles. A Master Painter can also use a T2 easel to paint anything within the limits of a 512 character description. In addition, a Master Painter has access to a special postname title listed in the Unique title category. This can be set via {{boldmono|TITLE SET UNIQUE MASTER PAINTER}}.


{| {{prettytable}} cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" style="margin: 1em 1em 1em 1em; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px #aaa solid; border-collapse: collapse; "
Canvases must be used on the easel for each painting. A single easel can store up to 40 canvases at any given time. Boxes for making canvases out of foraged non-broken twigs (such as slender twigs or oak twigs) were also sold at the same event for 5k bloodscrip. In addition, stacks of canvases were sold separately.

===Skill Level===
|}
There are eight total painting skill levels associated with the Artist's Easel. It takes approximately 35-38 paintings to raise one's skill level, although the number of paintings to do so is known to vary from 33 to 42.

The messages you receive for painting at Tier 0 run thus:

<pre{{log2}}>Careful not to get too much paint on your paintbrush, you dab the bristles gently against the easel's palette, covering its tip with just the right amount of paint. You begin your project.

You press your paintbrush confidently against the easel's canvas, unsure where your creativity will lead you.

Concentrating intently, you bite your lip as you sweep your paintbrush across the easel, pausing occasionally to stand back and admire your growing talent. Rough outlines of a [random subject for artist's skill level] are beginning to take shape.

More details of a [subject] begin to form on the easel's canvas, your paintbrush gliding slowly across the painting field.

Leaning forward, you blow on the wet paint, hurrying along the drying process. A [subject] is really taking shape, now!

You dab your paintbrush gently against the easel's palette of paint, refining the details on a [subject].

You blot away some excess paint, fill in some bare spots, and stand back to gaze at your creation upon the easel's canvas.
</pre>
The 'aha' messaging for increasing painting skill is as follows:

<pre{{log2}}>As you scrutinize your creation, you realize just how far you've come since you first started sweeping a paintbrush across canvas. It won't be long now before you're a true Master Painter! You feel as if you've learned something.</pre>

Skill levels progress starting at zero paintings as a Beginner to Novice, Skilled, Intermediate, Seasoned, Experienced, Advanced, and Master. If no mistakes are made, a painting is completed with six or seven rounds of painting, however it is possible to make a mistake with lower skill levels. If a mistake is made, the painting is automatically started all over again.

Beginner artists take 20 seconds each round of painting and complete a full painting in just over 2 minutes if no mistakes are made.

The roundtime varies depending on the tier quality of the easel used; values listed are as per T1/T2 difference:

*Novice: 30/15 seconds
*Skilled: 40/20 seconds
*Intermediate: 50/25 seconds
*Seasoned: 60/30 seconds
*Experienced: 80/40 seconds
*Advanced and Master: 100/50 seconds per round.

Upon achieving Master, the painter receives access to a '''Master Painter''' unique post-name title and sees a new 'aha' message:

<pre{{log2}}>Congratulations! You have accomplished a great deal in your studies of fine arts, and you will now be known as a Master Painter in the world of fine arts!

[You now have access to the postname title of "Master Painter"!]</pre>

{{boldmono|[[APPRAISE]] }}your most recent painting to see what skill level you are at.

Whittling Knife

A whittling knife (colloquially a "Kali Knife") creates a wooden embeddable item from an empty ranger imbued wand or rod.

Analyze

You analyze the whittling knife and sense that the item cannot be altered in any way.

The creator has also provided the following information:

You get the distinct impression that no merchants will alter this knife -- perhaps it has something to do with the knife's special magic.

To whittle, you must have an imbued wand that is appropriate for carving in your left hand.  Then just TAP your knife.  Remember that you will get better the more you whittle; but if someone else uses the knife, the next time you attempt to carve anything, it will be as if you are new to the art of whittling.

You get no sense of whether or not the knife may be further lightened.

Usage

Verb Skill First Third
TAP Your knife responds, almost as if by magic, slicing easily through the rod with graceful strokes. Leff whittles quickly and easily, the knife slicing through the rod with sure, graceful strokes.
TAP As you work, an unfinished Fash'lo'nae charm begins to take shape. Leff grins as his Fash'lo'nae charm begins to take shape.
TAP You finish with a flourish and hold up an exquisite Fash'lo'nae charm for everyone to appreciate! Leff finishes with a flourish and holds up an exquisite Fash'lo'nae charm for everyone to appreciate.

Analyze

>anal charm
You analyze the <ADJECTIVE> charm and sense that the creator has provided the following information:
The description of the <ADJECTIVE> charm may be altered, but its noun must remain charm, and it must retain its plant-based composition.  Standard alteration restrictions still apply.

This is a magical item that was created by <CHARACTER>.

You get no sense of whether or not the charm may be further lightened.
