Are you suggesting that the Techniques need to unionize?
One thing to note, while it is tempting to think that there is some kind of rules exploit at play or even a cheat or gaining something for nothing, for the sake of causing a minor wound at the risk of the effect being resisted, you might be better off just getting a poisoner to give you some natural poison. Given that, there's not much of an exploit.
I think if this were being discussed around the gaming table, with limited time, as a storyguide I'd look at the impact (minor wound), does it marry up with the rules (create poison = CrAq), and does it sound like a cool idea. This particular approach checks all those boxes for me so I'd allow it, help the player/character bring it into the story, and then consider anything else later.
The idea of a demonstration of Techniques for better wages and Form conditions just hit me. Must be the lack of coffee :mrgreen:

It was bad enough when just Muto was crossing the picket line but now Creo is scabbing too. What's an honest destroying-man to do?
The magic croses lines, that is not new.
But one little example of others... The Poisons can be made with Medicinal Theriacs or Philosofic Reagents (or searched and prepared without one recipe, tahtnks to Profession Apothecary and Survival/Area Lore): With a reagent you can purify something to do more damage increasing therir property (hot and dry and so on to much that 4) and the theriacs, well, it is poisons guidelines. A&A to see.
