Prerequisite Charms: Mind-Hand Manipulation
She Who Lives In Her Name needs no other habitation or external aid to work her genius. Whenever an Infernal has this Charm's prerequisite active, she can Shape her telekinetic force to serve in place of all tools required for Ability-based actions (but not raw materials), though this doesn't quicken task completion. Weapons can't be emulated; the Principle of Hierarchy has other Charms for that. Otherwise, "tool" is a broad term, encompassing musical instruments, writing implements, etc.
The actual effects of the enhanced action take place via precise alteration of reality, so forging a lump of metal into a sword would involve levitating the raw ore, searing it red-hot and stretching the slag to its desired shape. By default, this Charm only provides the equivalent of a basic workshop. Subsequent purchases of the Charm at higher Essence ratings upgrade the benefits to more sophisticated facilities: master's workshop (Essence 4+, two purchases); flawless workshop (Essence 6+, three purchases); ideal workshop (Essence 7+; four purchases). See The Books of Sorcery Vol. III—Oadenol’s Codex, pages 27-28, for more information on workshop types.
