======Shaper======

  * How good an item is has little to do with the quality of the craftsmanship but rather with how well the item has been taught its purpose. 
  * A farmer who uses their scythe everyday for twenty years will find that gradually it begins to scythe through the wheat with greater and greater ease whilst inheriting the tools of your forebears is seen as a great boon after the lifetime of accumulated intent. 
  * There are those who are more in tune with the purpose imbued into items, who can instill purpose more quickly, bend the purpose of what they use, or even break it.
  * Those people are called Shapers.


===Class Feature: Creation===

  * Between adventures, you gain a [[basic item]] which you have made.

  * You cannot give an item more than 3 qualities in this way. 

===Divine the Purpose===

  * You can attempt to sense the history of any crafted item that you touch.

  * Each encounter, you may only use the calls you gain from a single weapon.  

===Bend the Purpose===

  * 3 times per adventure you can force your will upon an item, temporarily causing it to act with unnatural properties. For example: in a pinch you could tell a spoon it could cut, or an anvil that it could float.
  * At the end of the encounter the dissonance catches up with the item - its purpose reverts and it breaks.
