			[[Mark]] is a [[Thief]] only ability that assesses your ability to successfully perform a thiefly action. The [[Ranger]]'s [[Scout Awareness]] ability is similar but is limited to [[Hiding skill\|Hiding]] and [[Stalking skill\|Stalking]]. Only other Thieves and [[Paladins]] can notice a mark. It takes [[Appraisal Skill\|Appraisal]] into account.
	==Syntax==

			==General Information==
	==Use==

	See [[Mark]].
			*Effective ranks
	{{Cat\|Commands}}
			Mark uses EFFECTIVE ranks. All boosts and penalties on both the thief and the target are reflected in the mark. For example, if a target marks as diffcult, and then a thief boosts her skills with khri, the target might now mark as easy.

			*Difficulty of getting a "certain" mark
			The more skilled a target is compared to the thief, the more difficult it is for the thief to get accurate information. You know a mark is "certain" by the phrase, "You feel highly confident in the accuracy of your judgement."

			==Mark as a Training Tool==
			[[Mark]] teaches both [[Appraisal Skill\|Appraisal]] and [[Perception skill\|Perception]]. See below for more details.

			==Shops==

			The amount taught depends on how hard the item is to steal. Harder items teach more than easier items, and items you have no hope of grabbing still do not suffer an exp penalty compared to items you can steal.

			There does not appear to be a timer on teaching. Be aware however there is a timer on how many items in a shop you can mark before getting a charge for hooliganism.

			Therefore it is always the best to mark the hardest item in the shop, up until you get the warning message:
			You think that sizing up any additional items may cause the shopkeep to take unwanted notice of you.

			Difficulty is broken down between grabbing the item and getting caught. Messaging is in order of easiest to hardest:

			'''GRABBING THE ITEM:'''
			*it would be taking candy from a baby.
			*it would be stealable even with your eyes closed.
			*it should be trivial for one of your skills.
			*it should be an easy target for you.
			*it should not prove difficult for you.
			*it should be more likely liftable than not.
			*it should be about even odds.
			*it may give you some difficulty to lift.
			*it may be troublesome to lift.
			*you don't think well of your chances to lift it.
			*it may be quite the struggle to nab.
			*it would likely be futile to bother.
			*you can already feel the taste of bitter failure.



			'''GETTING AWAY WITH THE THEFT:'''
			*nobody will ever miss it.
			*you could just waltz on out with it.
			*it should be trivial to avoid attention.
			*it should be easy to avoid attention.
			*it should not prove too difficult.
			*it should be possible.
			*it's about even odds.
			*perhaps it's a little risky.
			*it'll be troublesome to be unnoticed.
			*it's somewhat of a long shot.
			*you're pretty sure you'll be caught.
			*the shopkeep is paying far too much attention to it.
			the heavy THUD* of a judge's gavel echoes through your mind.

			==Creatures==
			*Timer

			The timer for marking creatures is one minute, and it is per creature. Each new creature marked will award exp, however marking the same creature twice will not award exp unless there was one minute between each mark of the creature.
			The timer was tested by Zihnj using a favor orb to clear out exp after marking a creature, and then repeatedly marking again until exp was awarded.

			*Teaching Range

			Mark has a very wide teaching range. Zihnj was able to move his perception and appraisal from clear to dabbling on a caracal at 1200 and 850 ranks, respectively.
