Perk tree: Anatomy
The Keeper's five talent trees - Building, Smithing, Farming, Book writing and Anatomy - laid out like the in-game talent window.
Character
The Anatomy tree grows down from its first node, apart from three hidden perks that need no other node. Every node costs one Anatomy inspiration point and needs every node above it that it is connected to. 5 nodes raise Anatomy mastery by 1 each; the other 15 are perks. Buying all 20 nodes takes 20 points, which is 94 notches of the Anatomy inspiration bar.

How it works
Inspiration points of a colour buy the nodes of that colour's tree.
Each full inspiration bar of a colour gives one point. Every node costs one point of its colour.
Raises that mastery by 1. A recipe cannot be worked below its required mastery (star crafts and autopsy work can be attempted with at least 1 mastery), and twice or three times the mastery it needs finishes it in a half or a third of the ticks.
A permanent bonus. 14 of the 68 talent perks add +2 to +4 mastery for one kind of work.
