I was looking to see if there was anywhere in the rules that described how someone could go about growing Deepweed. Now I know it is an awakened plant and should be a very rare substance, but I would think there has to be some way to replicate it. Home growth of Kelp and Seaweed in general would probably require specific equipment to ensure a constant flow of nutrient rich water. In addition specialized sun lamps would be required as well.

My plan was to come up with rules to produce it in small ammounts that would greatly prohibit its mass production, something so that it would make it not in companies best interest to try and grow on their own. This procedure would have to be taught to the character, or could be found in a book of some kind (something similar to The Pharmacopeia). I figured there would have to be two components to growing the plant - the first being able to actually simply grow the plant part. The second would be cultivating and growing the awakend portion.

In order to complete the first part, the character would have to pass an extended test with an interval of one hour that can be done once per day. The skill used in the test would be Horticulture, Farming, or something like that + Logic and the threshold would be 3.

At the end of each days extended test, the grower would have to summon a Plant Spirit to imbue the plant with mana and astral energy. In order to do so the Plant Spirit must pass a test using only its force with each success imbueing one dose with energy.

The character can only attempt the test once per day, and the total number of hits should be totalled once a week to see how much plant can be harvested that week.

If no doses are generated for a week, the plant dies and a new one has to be harvested and grown from scratch. In addition a glitch on either the part of the spirit or the growth prevents all possible growth for that day. A critical glitch would kill the plant.

So what do you think?
