Abilities: Chemistry

Chemistry is the study of mater and how that mater interacts with its environment. This branch of knowledge includes an understanding of how elements and compounds bond together, how to fabricate new and useful compounds from raw elements, and how to extract energy and resources from chemical reactions. Chemistry is a helpful knowledge to have for a character that specializes in adjacent skills like Agrotech, Cooking and Brewing, and Terrorism--giving them a scientific foundation for the work they do. Common information rolls using Chemistry include building a new compound from base elements, breaking down a compound into base elements, and conducting small demonstrations of a well known chemical principles (such as ionized water's ability to conduct electricity). Chemistry study rolls involve creating an experiment to test a hypothesis with unknown chemicals, creating an alloy for use in a tool or weapon, and discovering new applications for more advanced forms of Chemistry.

Ability Levels:

0	Ignorant: The interactions between chemicals is a mystery to you but it's fun to watch--until something explodes.
1	High School: You have taken a few classes in Chemistry, understand types of molecular bonds, and basic safety protocols for working with substances.
2	College: Your uses of Chemistry are adequate for daily use. You can make simple drugs and explosives without too much effort.
3	Masters: You are comfortable explaining a wide range of chemical reactions based on scientific principles. Medical grade drugs and deadly explosives are in your wheelhouse.
4	Doctorate: You are acknowledged as a specialist in a particular field of the chemical sciences. Colleges, technology companies, and government agencies are always looking for a talented scientist like you.
5	SScholar: You are widely acknowledged to be one of the smartest scientists of the age. Your new theories and research are pushing the boundaries of human understanding.
