Study

"Unlock books and other treasures."

Studying a resource will often tell you more about it.

Ability Improvements

 * Studying Health produces Vitality
 * Studying Reason produces Erudition
 * Studying Passion produces Glimmering
 * Studying 2 Vitality, Erudition, or Glimmering will improve the relevant skill, or, if the skill has already been improved once, add a Lesson Learned of that type.
 * Skills can be improved by studying them, along with 2-4 Lessons Learned depending on the skill level. The final improvement will also require an appropriate type of Lore fragment.

Improving Lore

 * Studying 2 Lores of the same type and level will attempt to combine them into the next level of that lore type. Studying lore in this way will trigger certain Challenges (listed as Aspects on the two lore fragments) that require different resources. Failure to provide the correct resource will end the study action and return the original lore fragments.
 * Studying higher-level Lores with Reason will split the lore into two lower-level fragments that can be recombined later.
 * Lore can be subverted by studying two fragments of the same level. This attempts to consume both fragments and creates a new lore of the next level and same type as the master fragment studied. This uses the same mechanic as studying two lore fragments of the same type (see Subverting Lore below).
 * The exception to this is Knock, which is master to any other Lore type except for Secret Histories and will subvert it to Knock.

Improving Influences

 * Influences can be improved in the same ways as Lores. However, unlike Lores, studying Influences always succeeds and requires no other cards to complete.

Subverting Lore
You may combine Lore of two different types to subvert them into the next level of one of these types. Each type of lore is susceptible to subversion by exactly one other (master) type. For example, studying a fragment with a  will subvert it to a  fragment of the next level. subverts any other Lore type into fragment of the next level.

Each subversion attempt will trigger multiple Challenges corresponding to the types of Lore used.

Books and Tutors

 * Most Texts can be studied to gain additional Lore fragments, as well as possible Influences.
 * Studying a Language along with a Text in that language will convert it to an English version of that Text.
 * Studying a person or Summoned with the Tutor aspect will allow you to learn their language. This will require either a Spintria as a fee or a Language as background.
