Finding a Routine

Work

• Based on the aspect you use at the Sweet Bones, you can earn money. Using Heart, Forge, or Lantern will earn you 6 pence, and using Moth will earn you 2 pence.

Rest

• Resting at the Sweet Bones takes 60s, 2 pence, and will restore 1 aspect.
• Resting in your bed takes 90s, a beverage of some kind, and will restore 1 aspect.

Books

• Once you’ve catalogued a book, you can study it. You can use Memories (including the weather), Skills, and your Soul aspects to buff your research. In addition, if you’re short on the required number, you will get three random opportunities to add additional things to increase the aspects.
• Some mechanics details: these opportunities are randomised only after all effects have been taken. So if you have already taken 3 risky study actions, all of which gave you 3 Element of the Soul opportunities, the chances below are shifted. For example, the chance of getting another Element of the Soul opportunity is now (25-9)/(66-9) => 16/57, or about 28% vs the base 38%.

* These are special effects, each simply raises the relevant aspect by 1
