I hope not, but you may be right."Saemund approaches Lyndha.Lyndha nods,"It is more simple than you would imagine. It is not a matter of construction, but rather one of composition. You can sense that a particular item offers augmentation, some feathers, some stone, some metals, etc. The material must already have its proclivity. We, who can sense such things, combine them for convenience of carry.As to prowess in combat, no. That is a learned skill. While various substances can augment inherent abilities, such as strength, motility, persona, or will power, I know of nothing that can grant prowess to a skill.As your skill with sensing and manipulating way grows, you will notice that you have a tendency or affinity for certain materials over others. I, myself, have this toward metals; whereas, you will notice that Maeli wears talismans made from feathers."</blockquote>
