Jim began pondering, could some of these be used as weapons? They don't have listed attack stats nor durability, the armors listed also didn't have durability listed, but weapons did, durability seems like something vital to know for a tool, after all.
Jim went ahead and bought a basic hand drill, only costing 50, he got to work on putting holes in the beads. It was remarkably easy, Jim guessed it was due to his Steady Hands and Quick Fingers, after drilling about a dozen of them he stopped to check his work.

Jim resumed, 200 beads ended up with holes in them, 'Time to string them'

'Alright, pretty good', he tossed out some of the beads which were cracked or were uneven, they were mostly the early ones, the later ones had a strange glimmer to them, after stringing them up the later products had an eyecatching appearance, he had extra string left over and wasn't sure what to do with it, so just stored it away.
'Time to advertise', Using an old camera he took some pictures of the lined up bracelets and necklaces, he was confident they would sell eventually as he posted pictures and a low price along with a contact email. Two days passed, less than half of the bracelets had been sold, he only got about $5 out of it. It was nerve-wracking when someone showed up to purchase one or two of them, but he felt he had kept his appearance fine. Now with close to $12 in his pocket, he headed out to purchase some Canvas and bits of cheap Wood, his money was officially gone now, with less than a dollar in coins on his person.
Heading back home, he purchased a cheap carving knife for 30 points and began scraping away at the wood, trying to form it into little animal shapes.

After Jim had wasted several pieces of wood he got the hang of it, "Whoa!" Jim hadn't obtained a reward for the number of skills since reaching 10, 'What's the difference between Skill Seeker and Skill Hunter...?', Jim didn't wait and opened it up.

'Huh? That's a lot of tickets and modules, but what's with the ???', Checking the skill list, it wasn't there, 'Ugh, this list is chaotic, can't I sort it?' Suddenly all the skill names lit up, Jim tried pressing on one, nothing seems to happen, when withdrawing his hand the name moved slightly, 'Oh!', He started rearranging the skills, he found he could seperate them into categories.

With that done, Jim didn't worry about the mystery skill, maybe it's a system bug? He decided to start using Mystic Portrait, the carved sculptures weren't high enough quality to be sold so he just discarded them, he'd have to purchase more wood in the future to continue.
Staring at the canvas before him, Jim decided to use his imagination this time rather than memory, he formed a mental image of a large rocky mountain reaching high into the sky, a massive dragon taking flight above it, soldiers in full armor on the approach from afar.

Looking at the resulting painting, it was marvelous, his heart nearly stopped while staring at the dragon, the soldiers radiated a feeling of bravery. 'Yes, I can sell this.', He took a photo of the painting and posted it online but didn't list a price, he wasn't sure what an amateur's work would go for and just hoped the offers wouldn't be too low.
