There are many different aspects to thievery, from common street muggings
to complicated scams. The skill of item forgery allows a thief to make
cheap but virtually useless replicas of most items. From this the thief
can use the fake item to scam unsuspecting victims, either through dodgy
sales and trades, or simply by stealing the original and replacing with a
replica. Other uses of the skill are left to the imaginative trickster.
