Aluminum

Aliminum is the third developmental level where the skill or trait can be a subject which has an object. The entity which has the developmental object at this level does not distinguish the property from perceptions of it. It can be thought of as a play version of the skill and those who use it at this are said to be playing at the skill. Things which they make in this period are known as toys.

Both simple proficiencies and talents can be tasks at the aluminum level. They cannot yet be combined with other tasks. They can have state and can (in the case of talents) modify such state.

At the aluminum level of development, the needs are not affected by the imitation nature of this play, but perceptions are significantly enhanced as the praise feeds upon itself. The entity is so consumed by the illusion that an pretend tea party may be more filling than a real meal.
