	If you study your primer before carving the bead, you have the potential to learn scholarship from completing the bead, though it is optional and makes the bead harder to complete if you don't read the primer.

			To save money and train a little [[Mechanical lore]], you can carve your own blocks. Blocks are carved from just about any limb or stick you find. You will need a [[Carving knife\|carving knife]], a container with holy water, and to know the [[Bless]] spell. Once you have the required things you can forage for limbs or sticks in most outdoor places. The Crossing Cleric Guild Courtyard is a great place to start if you aren't sure.
	Unless you have a great deal of money, you'll want to make your own block from which to start. First FORAGE LIMB or STICK at a place like outside of the Northeast Gate of Crossing -- if you have the [[Foraging]] skills, you may forage a limb or stick of any wood; however, whether or not you'll be able to successfully carve the block will depend on your Mechanical Lore skill.

	#~~SPRINKLE~~ ~~VIAL~~ ~~ON MY~~ LIMB or STICK ~~(of holy water)~~		# [[Forage command\|{{tt\|FORAGE}}]] <LIMB or STICK>
			# [[Sprinkle command\|{{tt\|SPRINKLE}}]] VIAL ON MY <LIMB or STICK> (assuming the vial contains holy water)
	#PREP BLESS, then CAST MY LIMB or STICK
			# [[Prepare command\|{{tt\|PREPARE}}]] BLESS
	#Draw your knife and CARVE MY LIMB or STICK WITH MY KNIFE
	#~~Continue~~ to ~~CARVE~~ MY LIMB or STICK ~~WITH MY KNIFE until you have your block.~~		# [[Cast command\|{{tt\|CAST}}]] MY <LIMB or STICK>
			# With your [[Carving knife\|carving knife]] and blessed limb/stick in hand, [[Carve command\|{{tt\|CARVE}}]] MY <LIMB or STICK> WITH MY KNIFE repeatedly until you have a block

			The type of wood block you end up with depends on the type of limb/stick you foraged.
			* If the limb/stick matches one of the wood types above, you will end up with that type of block (e.g. an oak stick becomes an oak block).
			* If the limb/stick does not match one of the wood types above, you will end up with a plain wood block (e.g. a bamboo stick becomes a wood block). These are the easiest to shape into beads.
