-We've dealt with three of the four properties up to this point, but the fourth is perhaps the most important: Quality. There is no plane for quality; rather it is calculated from the working points in the three planes. Simply speaking, the closer you get each of your working points to their final property point, the higher the quality will be.

 Incense has 4 properties that are affected by a random factor at the start, and by the additives included during the batch. These properties are:
-* '''Scent.''' Scent is affected by the [[Herbs]] added to the batch. Known scents: ((FIXME))
+* '''Scent.''' Scent is affected by the [[Herbs]] added to the batch. Observed scents this telling: Citrus, Clove, Flowers, Honey, Jasmine, Musk, Opium, Pine

+* '''Feeling.''' The feeling is affected by the [[Rose of Ra]] Petals added to the batch. Observed feelings this telling: Giddy, Hopeful, Serene, Troubled, Vengeful
 * '''Affected Stats.''' Every batch of Incense affects two different stats: one positively, one negatively. These are affected by the [[Resin]]s added to the batch. The positive stat is obvious enough, but the negative stat may not be immediately recognizable if you're new to Incense. Here's how they map:
 {| border="1"
 ! Description !! Negative Stat
 |-
-| Temp        || Temp
+| Clumsiness    || Dexterity

 * '''Quality.''' Quality affects the burn duration of an Incense, as well as the strength of its effect. It is determined by how close the hidden values of the incense line up with the ideals for the given properties. Don't worry if that doesn't make much sense; it will be explained in detail below.

 The overall properties of a batch of Incense in process can be represented by a set of three separate and independent planes: the Stats/Resin Plane, the Scent/Herb Plane, and the Feeling/Petals Plane. Scattered about each of these planes is a set of points representing the final outcomes of the appropriate property. For example, the Stats/Resin Plane may look like this:

-Incense is created in a [[Scent Lab]]. In order to start a batch, you need 20 [[Cactus Sap]] and 4 [[Charcoal]]. At any time you can "Burn a pinch of the mixture", which will show you the various properties of the batch in progress. If you have an [[Incense Prong]], you may optionally throw in additives in the form of [[Resin]]s, [[Herbs]], or [[Rose of Ra]] Petals. When you are satisfied, you can "Take the Incense" to take your batch of 20 Incense, at which point you will have the opportunity to give it a name.
