Raw Gems have both a variable number of Hardness which determines how difficult that Gem is to cut on Gemcutter's Wheel icon.png Gemcutter's Wheel and a have a variable number of Carats determined purely on chance, which gives a bonus to the Cut Gem's Artifact stats and if over 1.00 carats, change that Gemstone's size.

Tickling

With a Quill icon.png Quill equipped and the French Tickler Skill learned, right-clicking on another pilgrim gives you the option to "Tickle". Tickling another pilgrim transfers your Insanity to them - lowering yours but raising theirs. The longer you Tickle the more Insanity you will transfer, however, any action that causes you to involuntarily stop Tickling, such as the pilgrim moving away, will cause you to gain a large amount of Insanity and may cause your Quill to break. Tickling is NOT a Crime! icon.png Crime! and therefore will NOT leave Evidence icon.png Evidence or Scent icon.png Scents.

WARNING! It is technically possible to Tickle a pilgrim past level 10 Madness so that the pilgrims permanently dies. Tickling another pilgrim to death adds a massive amount of Insanity.

Whipping Criminals

With the Sanctioned Mortification Skill learned and a Whip equipped, right-clicking on any of the Stocks which a criminal is locked up in, gives you the option to "Whip" them. Whipping a criminal will deal permanent damage to their Humours. This damage is determined by the Whipper's Justice Score and is increased if the criminal is offline. Whipping damage will not cause a criminal's Humours to drop lower than 5. Whipping a criminal adds 100 Justice Points and getting Whipped adds a small amount of Insanity.
