Sulfur

Sulfur is the sixth 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 sulfur 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 sulfur level of development, the perceptions are dimmed by the imitation nature of this play, but needs are still being met. The entity's anger over this inadequacy of self is directed at the perception-self in a way that results in sadness and depression over the inability to believe in the activity as anything but play. This depression is the beginning of the refinement of the conflict of the balance which will ultimately result in a major conflict.
