New Skills and Specializations
The following skills are used by characters in the NieA Under Seven series. Most, however, are also useful in many other BESM game settings. The point costs given for the new skills are for the "Teenage Romance" genre, but they can be adjusted for whatever genre the skills are being used in.

Cooking: Inexpensive, Tea-Making
This specialization allows the character to know how and when to find the cheapest groceries and then turn them into a meal that is far tastier than the ingredience should allow for. Tea-Making not only allows the character to brew that perfect pot of tea, but also allows for knowledge of traditional Japanese tea ceremonies. (The actual tea ceremony is governed by the Performing Arts skill, but a high rank in tea-making may provide a bonus to the Performing Arts roll, at the GM's option.)
