This was already on the guild channel, but I'm punching together a material
mastery system for merchants. Basically, if you don't want to fumble and want
to produce higher quality materials, you will need to work with that
material(type).

So, example: One mines, amalgamates and refines lots of iron. One gains 'lots'
of reputation for working with iron, and 'some' for working with metals
overall. As one gains more reputation, one becomes less and less prone to
fumbles, and will produce better and better materials.

With the specifics I need your help. If you have ideas, comments, or whatnot,
drop me a tell/mudmail. If your points are good, they will most likely have an
effect on the overall implementation of the system.

Rgds, your friendly neighbourhood Sage
