World Difficulty: 8
You peer out of the window and see a large city stretching to the horizon with buildings both tall and short. This civilization seems to be in the middle of the Industrial Revolution, and in the distance is a clock tower, partly obscured by the blag smog from the factories. The streets are bustling with beople, but they all seem to be wearing shades of grey.

Dangit. Well since I can't craft anything because the traders and peasants claimed all the resources, I guess I will Search for scrap metal, stone, or similar, even at my -30% penalty.
Attempt: 66-22=44
You bumble around the city looking for materials. You seem to be paying attention to all the wrong things though, and in the end your search proves fruitless.
hmmm industrial revolution eh?

Anyway, I take the apple and crystallize it into the gemlike magical Heart of Knowledge.
I'm going to assume maxicaxi is letting you do this. Note that from now on if you want to use anything from somebody else's inventory, ask them to give it to you. You can only access the group inventory and your own freely.Attempt: 9+2=11
You snatch an apple and begin your experiments upon it. In your attempt to make it into a Heart of Knowledge, you pour thousands of years of experience upon the apple, hoping it will absorb the knowledge, but it wrinkles and rots instead.

You gain 11xp (Time Manipulation)!
