Talents and mastery
The Keeper has five masteries: Building, Smithing, Farming, Book writing and Anatomy. Every crafting recipe names a level of one of them. Mastery nodes in the perk tree raise it by 1 each.

- Mastery per tree
A crafting recipe names a mastery level, for example Building 2. A normal recipe cannot be worked below it; star crafts and autopsy work can be attempted, and each tick then succeeds with a chance that grows with the mastery. Each tick adds the mastery divided by the requirement (rounded down, at most 3) to the progress bar. Food and sermon buffs add to mastery while they last, and 14 talent perks add +2 to +4 for one kind of work.

Points and the inspiration bar
Each colour has its own inspiration bar. Claiming an inspiration of that colour adds 1 or 2 notches; when the bar is full it turns into one inspiration point and starts again. The first point takes 2 notches, the second 3, the third 4 and every point after that 5. So 5 points take 19 notches, 10 points 44 and 20 points 94.

More on mastery
Zombie talent trees
Every zombie worker has its own five trees and buys their nodes with the tech points it earns while crafting, not with the Keeper's. Its mastery is the sum of its mastery nodes, the mastery bonus of the tools it carries and its perks for that kind of work.
