Created by Bu Fang, this is a Neckerchief to be worn in the kitchen that allows one to improve one skill within the kitchen! A generally ceremonial item, the neckerchief is taught to be a practical wilderness item in the Scouting tradition. The neckerchief, unrolled, is designed to be the perfect size for use as a triangular bandage for first aid.
Edit: Expensive...might be better as Activated? This is a major investment, clearly to take advantage of the trading economy. It'll raise the question: how many Senses can you have between Crafted items & Innate Powers?
If the max is still relevant, this item will be wasted on most high level characters...
