Essence ofBasic Competence

This Essence tastes like your favorite drink, made by someone who is well practiced at making it, but it isn't quite perfect.

• You pick up the basics of new skills extremely quickly. Given a half-competent trainer or instruction material, you are guaranteed to be able to develop basic competency (defined as being able to reliably perform routine tasks in a low-stress scenario) in any skill you have the physical capability of performing with a couple of minutes of study at most. Unassisted study will take several minutes to achieve basic competency. Once you have developed basic competency in a skill, the accelerated learning effect stops.

• This does extend to supernatural abilities, provided you have the necessary talent to use said abilities (for example, if you don't have the ability to interact with the Force, you can't learn to be a Jedi).

• This training does give you a good grasp of the basics, including relevant theoretical knowledge, and will not impede your ability to further develop skills you are otherwise capable of learning, and will act as a basis to start advancing your knowledge of and training in the relevant subjects.
