Crafter’s Tome Update

Three updates to Crafter’s Tomes/Monocles will be going live when Duskruin opens on the 16th:

1) Crafter’s Tomes and Monocles will be updated to support the new Bard service. They’ll provide appropriate stat and skills boosts when used in conjunction with the service. Affinity will not be reset during this update, so the item should be usable immediately.
2) Warrior’s will no longer see a difficulty assessment message when applying the grit service.
3) A new certificate will be available from Tome Raiders: a black voucher. This voucher will unlock to assess your service bonus when PONDER’ing your tome or monocle. It’ll provide both an IC range as well as the numerical value.

Example:
>ponder tome
Your crafter’s tome pulses with a crimson light, suffusing you with necromantic knowledge.
You open your crafter’s tome and scan through the pages, studying the text and diagrams contained within. After a few moments, you feel a presence briefly touch your mind, as if searching it. The feeling fades as you close your tome once again.
You sense that your ability to ensorcell is proficient.
[Your skill bonus given your current condition and environment is 488.]
