Creo Terram for improvement?

@One Shot

In general: the more rare and potentially world altering the item to be created might be, the more arcane and specific is the knowledge required to be sufficiently familiar with it.

@Jabir

So you're saying a magus can't created steel, bronze, or other alloys unless he's trained in smithcraft? A layperson who's seen Damascus Steel is no less knowledgeable about it than he is about any other steel a smith forges.

Does he need to know the recipe for each food that he creates? The mixture of components in the slippery oils or poison gasses used as examples in the core book?

I just listed above - https://forum.atlas-games.com/t/the-break-room/102/1 - the main rules we have about the knowledge that gives the necessary familiarity to Creo something artificial. A&A p.70 box is very demanding, and ArM5 p.77 is lenient for the simple things. We need to interpolate here, without losing sight of the specific rules existing.

@Jabir

I think you're making a special argument here that would, if generalized, run against the grain of many, many, published Creo examples.

Provide one - and please not a quick or legacy spell design just adding stop gap magnitudes for complexity. We discussed that on Mass-Produced Reagents already.

Cheers
