Perk tree
The Keeper's five talent trees - Building, Smithing, Farming, Book writing and Anatomy - laid out like the in-game talent window. Inspiration points of a colour buy the nodes of that colour's tree.
Each full inspiration bar of a colour gives one point. Every node costs one point of its colour.
Raises that mastery by 1. Mastery sets which recipes can be crafted and, on star recipes, the quality of the result.
A permanent bonus. 14 of the 68 talent perks add +2 to +4 mastery for one kind of work.
The Smithing tree grows down from its first node. Every node costs one Smithing inspiration point and needs every node above it that it is connected to. 5 nodes raise Smithing mastery by 1 each; the other 13 are perks. Buying all 18 nodes takes 18 points, which is 84 notches of the Smithing inspiration bar.
