Tush Hog:
Help me get a handle on Workspaces - how and when they come into effect.

For example, I'm a wizard with mediocre (+0) Resources. My lab isn't very impressive. Does it limit my thaumaturgy in any way?

It'll mean you don't have the materials or books on hand to do a lot of research. You'll have to go out to other arcane libraries or bookstores, talk to spirits and demons, etc, when getting your research together during preparation.

"Adventure Hook" sounds a bit to tame for this prospect. "Adventure Coat-rack"?

--- Quote ---As described in Scholarship (see page 142), the quality of a workplace determines the highest possible difficulty of a “question” or project that you can pursue there.

I'm still unclear how the quality of the workplace and the hardes possible question relate to Ritual complexity.

I'm thinking of multiplying the effective Lore with the qualitiy of the Workspace to get the maximum complexity of an Ritual...

Deadmanwalking:
They don't interact at all. Research and Ritual Preparation are entirely different actions that have nothing mechanically, and not necessarily a whole lot conceptually, to do with each other.
