	Most creator skills grant ~~a number of~~ '''work units''', required to create or alter anything: ~~a character with any~~ such ~~skills has a base~~ of '''5 work units per day ~~per skill~~''', up to 20 ~~points~~ ~~per~~ ~~day~~ ~~for~~ ~~four~~ skills.		Most creator skills grant '''work units''', required to create or alter anything. Each such skill grants '''5 work units per day'''. However, only the first five work unit-granting skills contribute — any skills beyond the fifth grant no further points.

			The maximum work units a character can have depends on their archetype:
	Characters with the '''creator archetype''' can purchase up to 5 [[Extra Work Units\|additional work units]], for a total '''maximum of 25 per day'''.

			* '''No primary archetype:''' 15 work units maximum
⚫	Work units represent the ~~creator’s~~ capacity to concentrate and exert themselves every day. Higher quality workspaces grant more work units.
			* '''[[Creator]] archetype:''' 25 work units maximum

			Characters who have not reached their cap from skills alone can purchase additional work units via the skill [[Extra Work Units]].
⚫	Unlike [[Magic#Magic Points\|magic points]], the player does not need any visible way of tracking these points; all work units must be spent at the ~~character’s~~ workplace, and are logged and tracked by the referee dispensing the relevant cards.

		⚫	Work units represent the creator's capacity to concentrate and exert themselves every day. Higher quality workspaces grant more work units.

		⚫	Unlike [[Magic#Magic Points\|magic points]] or [[Stamina\|stamina points]], the player does not need any visible way of tracking these points; all work units must be spent at the character's workplace, and are logged and tracked by the referee dispensing the relevant cards.

	Crafting, alchemy and surgery aren’t ''exactly'' like real-world science or engineering. The world of '''''Renewal''''' is a magical one, and while the creator’s mechanical actions – cutting and moulding, sewing and staining, smelting and grinding – directly shape the objects of their work, it’s ultimately the creator’s will and intent that changes their underlying '''pattern'''. That is, both the physical act and the will of the creator are essential.		Crafting, alchemy and surgery aren’t ''exactly'' like real-world science or engineering.

	And since all things are made of magic, what mundane work does, in the end, is move magic around: crafting tends to strip magic out to clear impurities; ~~[[Alchemy]]~~ tends to concentrate magic to enhance its properties; and ~~[[Surgery]]~~ does neither – since magic constantly flows through the body – but blocks, dams or redirects magic to change the body’s functioning.

	This tends to affect how the products of mundane work interact with magical skills. Crafted objects, being low in magic, are eminently suited to receiving magical investment, while it is notoriously dangerous to try to add more magic to already magically-dense alchemical brews.
