Commission

Commissions are Work that can be done by talking to Patrons. They come in a number of difficulties that require different magnitudes of the appropriate Lore in order to complete, along with 1-3 Reason. You get the Lore back when you have completed the commission. Completing a commission will yield a manuscript that can then be turned in, using Talk, to the appropriate patron alongside the commission for a reward of Spintria. The type of Spintria (Iron, Bronze and Silver) is dependent on the difficulty of the commission.

Note that it is possible to write multiple manuscripts using the same Commission as long as the Commission is not completed.
