Turning a regular stick into a featherstick greatly enhances its burnability, not only by making the wood thinner and creating air spaces, but also by exposing the drier inner wood. Failure in creating one results in a Broken Stick and a pile of Wood Shavings.

This skill is the mirror image of whittling. While both consist of taking off small bits of wood, whittling focuses on what is left behind, shaving focuses on what is taken off and thus requires more control to ensure consistency.

The arrangement where you exchange a portion of your day doing a single job in exchange for little slips of paper that you change for stuff you need is a very recent development, historically speaking, but many people depend on it. Employment never lasts forever, though; if you plan for it's end well in advance, it's called retirement, but if it comes unexpectedly, and you are not prepared for it, it can be devastating.
