Skills it starts you with
A starting level does more than it shows: it locks in a faster learning rate for that skill for the whole run.

|---|---|---|---|
| Blacksmithing | +2 | ×1.33 | 5.3× faster than untrained |
| Maintenance | +1 | ×1.0 | 4× faster than untrained |
Can you earn it in play?
- Levels — yes. Blacksmithing 2 · Maintenance 1 — reach them by playing, like any skill.
- Boost — no. Starting above 0 locks in 5.3× Blacksmithing · 4× Maintenance for the whole run. Skip the trait and they sit at the untrained rate, permanently.
