You could have two or three interaction options with an object.
It might seem silly to some. But it'd be nice to be able to interact with crafted items, like how clothing has the worn and removed messages, rather then merely just .. holding them.
Example:
a $(dye$) dress
A pile of $(dye$) cloth has been left here, revealing a dress.
Comprised of $(dye$) linen, this dress has a shape and can be worn.
-> DYE (dress) BLUE

a blue dress

Comprised of blue linen, this dress has a shape and can be owrn.
OR
a necklace with $(dye$) beads
Silver chain coiled, a necklace with $(dye$) beads is here.
Strung along a silver chain, this necklace is bears a trailing line of $(dye$) glass beads, framing an ornate pendant of tarnished silver filigree.
DYE (necklace) COBALT
DYE (necklace) RED
etc.
It would allow for consumer-customization within reason, which would help in many areas.
It is also a potential gold sink, as, in order to dye an item, it could be necessary to purchase a bottle of dye, perhaps from NPC general wares merchants.
There are a few commands I think would make managing designs a bit easier:
Normal:
Design# Appearance Status Owner Months
------------------------------------------------------------------------
24 a vicious-looking dragon cl... Approved Alexina Perm
Full:
Design# Status Owner Months Appearance
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
24 Approved Alexina Perm a vicious-looking dragon claw pendant
So. To summarize:
Make it possible to search designs for a specific term rather than the item type. Add all designs you have access to (via guild, city, house, or just being granted personal access to other crafters' designs) to DESIGN LIST. Keep DESIGN LIST ACCESS in case you want to see only those designs you have access to and not your own. Add DESIGN MINE to replicate the current DESIGN LIST in case you don't want to list all designs that you could potentially craft (DESIGN MINE EXPIRED comes to mind, since not everyone would want to renew designs they do not personally own - even if they have access to them). Make it possible to delete or add comments after a design has been approved. And finally, please -please- make it possible to see the full appearance line for designs when listing them.
The main thing here is to merge 'design list' with 'design list access' as well as make it easier to look through or search designs for whatever you need.
Suggestions for Fumology
1. The ability to remain seated while smoking. This is a pretty big distraction, and although it's not a gamebreaking issue by any means, having to stand up to hit a hookah does detract from the aesthetic.
2. When probing a cigarette/cigar/rolled smokable, if rolled with a blend, this only seems to show up on 'ii', not 'probe'. It also is not revealed in a shop wares list. Revealing the blend when probed or brought up on wares would be helpful, especially since the same rolled smokable design can be rolled with various blends, and blend names add character.
3. The ability to smoke blends out of pipes. It seems silly that this is not yet possible, and although hookahs and cigarettes/cigars/etc. are nice, there's a certain style to smoking a pipe. More RP options are always a good thing!
4. More ingredients for potential blends, such as the harvestable berries. Dried fruits are commonly used in shisha tobacco blends, so it's kind of surprising that they are lacking atm. I know it might be staggering to have to code in every existing fruit in the game, but perhaps a seller of dried fruits, apples, oranges, plums, etc., prepared for this purpose could more easily enable the addition of fruits?
5. A shady seller in an alley somewhere who sells some 'special' ingredients for blends, like poppy resin, concentrated cactus weed oil, or diviner's sage, which give a slightly more involved message upon consumption in a blend- or even actual intoxication somehow?
6. More fire-creating devices for the RP aesthetic, namely matchbooks and matchboxes. Delve seems pretty advanced, and it wouldn't seem out of line for Ood to start selling the luciferin powder required to make them. Matchbooks could have 20 uses before they run out, and boxes 50-100? We've got tinderbox, so it's hardly a necessity, but potential RP props seem to go over well.
7. A 'humidor' container - woodcraft or furniture?
8. Insert Areka's perfumes idea here as a potential fumology addition. Or would that be its own talent? Scents seem to qualify as fumes of a sort.
Currently, if a hookah is placed somewhere, and a flame sigil is attached, the flame sigil goes into the hookah's contents, making it impossible to fill with a blend. This should ideally be fixed, so that functional hookahs can be placed in public establishments.
I'd also love it if (assuming this is ever implemented) all current approved designs got checked to see that they had a word in their 'appearance' field that matched the base design.
Forging
o If possible, could pauldrons get fixed? As it is, you can design them, but not actually make them, and it's been like that for months now.
Cooking
o For cooks, a recipe for making waffles, or making it an alternative to the pancakes recipe.
o Be able to make bagels in cooking, maybe as an alternative to the rolls recipe.

Trying to think of other things, but they'll probably pop back up sooner or later.
