I have to ask again, how is different to most of the abilities, killing a rat and gaining bartering makes perfect sense to you?
I never said that it did. I'm talking about crafting here. Not bartering.
Not really, you are arguing that is better because is like real life, it follow the same logic
p>q
q>r
ergo
p>r
Where q is like real life, r is better and p would be crafting as its own skill or non-magic, the premise you introduced lead both to being better
Yes it is. I was explaining my own answer with an allegory, real life. You are dismissing my answer by arguing against it with superficially similar proposition, thus suggesting that your proposition is logically somehow against my answer.
But we are not getting anywhere with this.
