Arts

Most people have some artistic ability but it takes studying the fine arts to truly become proficient. Artists first learn to craft a variety of common every day items and then go on to learn how to mix tinctures. Eventually, they are ready to create paintings and sculptures, always in demand by enchanters who can enchant them. A most useful consequence of mastering this skill is the discerning eye of a trained artist, which can see small imperfections and flaws in illusions.
