Professions

The Professions plugin lets you define professions that characters can learn. Unlike classes, professions are permanent once learned and cannot be removed.

Creating a Profession Entry

Open the Spark Editor, go to Professions and click Create New.

Each profession entry uses the standard database entry fields:

Field	Description
Display Name	Profession name shown in-game (e.g., "Blacksmithing", "Alchemy", "Mining", "Enchanting").
Description	Profession description text.
Icon	Sprite for the profession in UI.

Professions are identifiers that other systems reference through requirements. For example, you can restrict crafting recipes to characters with a specific profession, gate resource gathering behind profession requirements, or tie progression tracks to professions.

Learning Professions

Professions are learned through the trigger system and are permanent. Once a character learns a profession, it cannot be unlearned.

Profession-Related Triggers

Trigger	Description
Add Profession	Teaches a profession to the character. Configure the profession entry and optional delay.

Profession-Related Requirements

Requirement	Description
Has Profession	Checks if the character has learned a specific profession.

Use Cases

Professions work well alongside the Crafting and Progression plugins. For example, you might require the "Blacksmithing" profession to craft weapon recipes, tie a "Blacksmithing Skill" progression instance to the profession, and gate advanced recipes behind both the profession and a minimum skill level.
