/*
 * Knowledge Nature
 * Could be used if we implement plants and herbs. Stuff that wizards,
 * or anyone whom might want to sell components to a wizard, could plant and
 * grow. They would be affected by seasons (need to code), weather (need to
 * enhance) and just about anything else.
 *
 * The skill could be called when you find "a seedling" that to anyone else
 * looks like any damn plant they might find in a garden. It could be a rose
 * for all they care, not the primary ingredient to a flesh rot spell. >;)
 * The skill would allow you a check to see what type of seedling it is. This
 * wouldn't suddenly rename it to "a flower seed", it would be up to the player
 * to sort the seed in a special pouch or something. Perhaps keep a record in
 * the pfile that he successfully identified that plant, and from that point
 * on will recognise all plants like that. If he fails, it will be recorded
 * also, and this is a !RETRY skill so if you fail, you don't know what it is.
 * Perhaps stick a timestamp on it so eventually he'll get another chance. The
 * only way to truely identify it would be to have someone else tell you what
 * it is ;)
 *
 *
 * Different seeds or plant types could have different needs. Perhaps some
 * could only grow in darkness (evil plants, grr!) or in low light. Maybe some
 * eat bugs. Some might grow better in different soil, or in a different
 * season all together!
 *
 * Anyone that is not the owner of the garden would walk in and see a bunch of
 * "strange", "mysterious", or "beautiful" plants. They would have to use their
 * nature knowledge to identify them. (Perhaps if they have already gotten a
 * successful check they would see that plant for what it is?).
 * The owner of the garden would naturally know his plants.. or would he?
 * Perhaps he's just growing something?
 *
 * What about the selling of plants? Some components only require clippings,
 * not the whole potted plant to be carried around. Can you imagine seeing
 * an army of wizards carrying around mini-gardens for their components? No, no
 * this wouldn't work. Some components need to be dried, or mixed. We need to
 * do all of this!
 *
 * This is such cool stuff...
