Requires: lock picking

Usage

• consider <machine>

This skill is a prerequisite to building complex machinery, including traps and explosives. Knowledge of machines is also required before one is able to learn how to salvage parts from broken equipment.

As a side effect, this skill also serves to give an experienced thief information about mechanical opponents. It is used automatically when you use the 'consider' command.
