-Well, as I recall, this was one of two ideas I threw out, the other being a sort of construction-based ministry along these lines. That in and of itself would stop the game from being a WoT RPG and make it more complex, especially if people were to try mixing magic and technology, as Glotmorf suggested. Also, this isn't a copyrighted idea... anyone with an idea for another abstract ministry, feel free to suggest it. I don't want to make this a WoT RPG either, I just want this to be a part of the game. Or I could write up the construction proto-prop, but that will take longer, as I'd need to come up with a list of basic building materials (ideally, one would be able to make more complex objects from these, and more complex from those, and so on). Any suggestions as to that?
