-Gnomes are well-gnown to have a particular hobby which easily passes beyond a hobby or passive enjoyment, but is rather their true obsession. When you select this Talent, choose a single specific skill from the options in the requirements. You may spend TU (of any suitable kind, at GM discretion) to represent pursuit of your research. Doing so takes 10 hours of downtime investment, and a base price of 10 TU. Upon completion of this downtime, you gain a +1 bonus to that specific skill, as long as you have your journal available to reference (this bonus is instead +2 if it is a background skill).+As a Full Round Action, you may utter a baffling koan to a specific creature who can understand you. The creature in question is affected by [[priority:magic:spells:tier4:confusion|]], as the spell (no save), for 1d2 rounds. Creatures affected by this Talent may not be subjected to it again for 24 hours.
  
-You may repeat this process **ad infinitum** to expand the scope of your journal - each time you do, double the TU and downtime investment of the previous improvement to determine its cost, and increase the weight of your journal by 2 lbs. In exchange, the bonus provided by it increases by +1 (or +2 if it is a background skill). You may only have one journal at a time. If the journal is destroyed or otherwise discarded, you will have to begin anew.
