Spoiler: Secret Project, for GM Eyes Only
Show
Aiden is going to use the little scraps to make a gift for Shandara - a set of spectacles. He's noticed that she squints in daylight and seems to struggle in bright surroundings, so his plan is to get some 'smoked glass' with a nice dark tint for lenses, make some frames from finely sanded and shaped scraps of spirit wood, and maybe consult with the cranky dwarven tinker about a tiny set of hinges for the arms to fold away. Fundamentally it's a small, nonmagically woodworking project (though if later on Shandara wants to enchant them to be something better then maybe the Spirit Wood would make that more affordable). And they're just flat lenses, not corrective; so Aiden's minimal investment in Craft: Glass may be enough to cut and shape those lenses. Standard eyeglasses cost 5GP on the SRD, so it might not be a large investment timewise or cashwise!
