Luxurious duck-shaped vessel carved from a single piece of rock crystal around 3,500 years ago!
From Bronze Age Mycenae, it is said to be an exquisite example of imported Minoan stoneworking. Probably used to hold oils or cosmetics.

Working on skill names and it is taking a lot to not give the Mason or Siegemaster a skill called "Impregnation"
It makes sense in both a siege and stoneworking sense, but also it might be too silly of a name

This explains how the Ancient Egyptians, somehow, managed to build all the other pyramids except that particular one, which they, obviously, couldn't possibly have done despite having the knowledge and resources that they'd gained over centuries of stoneworking, engineering, and doing sums etc.

literally one of my favorite things abt wood or stoneworking. they can make things that look so gentle or even soft, and the process includes a lot of hard physical force

reminder: i look goofy as fuck when i gear up for certain projects. mowing is one of them, but some of the stoneworking gets pretty silly too.
this is me a couple years ago making a granite bird bath with an angle grinder.
or alternatively, breaking the law, according to these stooges. protective gear clearly has no legitimate use.

First combat in Domesday Maelstrom. We are fighting a group of Welsh masons (the stoneworking kind). My ex-monk struck the fear of god into them which gives them a -20 on their rolls. Almost everyone is flailing quite miserably.
