WHAT THE SIGN EXCELS AT
Mimicry, decoys, ingenious traps and the unsettling reshaping of luck.
WHERE IT CAN BREAK
Luck taken from elsewhere returns as debt; tricks create more traps than they close.
The Monkey Seal changes the conditions of a contest through imitation, traps and shifted luck. Its price is deferred rather than absent: taken fortune returns with interest, so the immediate result cannot be the sole measure of success. Luo Jintai's profile looks at that problem from the character's side; the Monkey Pavilion file places the sign within the Academy's mapped grounds.
