===Skill gain===
Most actions give skill in a specific pattern: Each action has a chance of giving skill. The chance is determined by the character's skill level, the difficulty of theaction the action and, usually, the quality of the tool being used. The amount depends on the length of the action timer. If the action timer takes twice as long the gain is twice as high too. The amount is also affected by sleep bonus and tool enchantments like [[Circle of Cunningcunning]].
Improving actions will usually give much more skill than creating actions.
