Editing Mental inspiration

{{rewrite|reason=Currently written in descriptive language, but needs mechanical specifics. also needs acquisition (inc mood math), info on WoI, and an analysis section}}
{{Image wanted|reason=Icon from colonist bar that designates an inspiration}}
Colonists with a high mood can randomly have mental inspirations, giving a stat boost for some time. Unlike [[mental break]]s, you retain full control of the mentally inspired colonist.

At 100 mood, a colonist has an inspiration on average once every 10 days.{{Check Tag|Wb lower?|What about lower moods, what is the specific correlation between mood and MTB?}} This can be a huge bonus to a colony, so if you find some of your colonists' moods are running pretty high, that might be a good time to rigorously enforce MORE recreation for them, to push them over the edge into inspiration.

Some [[traits]] prevent certain types of inspirations. Additionally, the pawns with the [[Traits#Tortured artist|Tortured Artist]] trait have a 50% to gain an Inspired Creativity inspiration after a [[mental break]] ends, with a possible exception of "Run Wild" mental breaks{{Check Tag|Verify}}. These pawns can be manipulated to create [[Quality]] work of all types by intentionally giving them a generally poor environment such as through  awful accommodations, poor food, no access to recreation, and/or any other stressors.

There are 8 different, specific inspirations that can strike, usually applied to colonists that have skills that reflect that specific bonus.

==Inspirations==
=== Go frenzy ===
{{Quote|<NAME> will move faster for the next 8 days.}}
: Colonist's great mood lifts them up and makes them [[move speed|move]] 1.4x as fast, as long as s/he feels inspired.

:* '''Base duration:''' 8 day 
:* '''Minimum skill:''' None
:* '''Incompatible Trait:''' [[Traits#Slowpoke|Slowpoke]]

=== Inspired creativity ===
{{Quote|<NAME> The next item, art, or furniture [PAWN_pronoun] creates will be two quality levels higher than it would otherwise be. This even allows the creation of legendary items. The inspiration will end after 8 days, or when the creation is completed.}}
: A sudden burst of inspiration gives colonist insight on how to make a quality item. After it is completed, that item will be [[Quality#Quality with Inspired Creativity|2 Quality levels higher]] than it would otherwise be, allowing for the creation of legendary items. The inspiration is only good for the next one (1) object created.

:* '''Base duration:''' 8 days 
:* '''Minimum skill:''' [[Skills#Artistic|Artistic]] 3 / [[Skills#Crafting|Crafting]] 3 / [[Skills#Construction|Construction]] 3

=== Inspired recruitment ===
{{Quote|<NAME> will successfully recruit the next prisoner regardless of difficulty or resistance. The inspiration will end after 8 days, or when the prisoner is recruited.}}
: Colonist gains insight on how to recruit prisoners into the colony. S/he will successfully recruit the next prisoner s/he attempts to recruit, regardless of difficulty or remaining resistance.

: To make the most out of the recruitment, you may manually have the warden prioritize the recruitment attempt on a specific prisoner. If the prisoner has been talked to recently, you will need to disable warden interactions for that prisoner, and wardening for the inspired warden, then wait a while before enabling them both.

: The inspiration ends after a prisoner is recruited.

:* '''Base duration:''' 8 days 
:* '''Minimum skill:''' [[Skills#Social|Social]] 3

=== Inspired surgery ===
{{Quote|The next time <NAME> performs a surgery, [PAWN_possessive] chance of success will be doubled. A small minimum chance of failure still applies. The inspiration will end after 8 days, or when the surgery is performed.}}
: Colonist becomes more concentrated in surgeries after being inspired, and as a result, the success chance for the next surgery will be doubled. '''Note''' however that the 98% success rate maximum still applies i.e. there will always be a 2% chance of failure. Thus high skill doctors operating in high quality hospitals can receive no benefit from this inspiration but it can make a great difference for those with lower Medicine skill who are not good surgeons yet, or operations such as [[carcinoma]] removal that have a lower chance of success.{{Check Tag|Fact Check|Carcinomas have high chances of bad outcomes but is it directly affecting the same stat?}}

: The inspiration ends after a surgery is performed, even if the surgery fails.

:* '''Base duration:''' 8 days 
:* '''Minimum skill:''' [[Skills#Medical|Medical]] 3

=== Inspired taming ===
{{Quote|<NAME> will successfully tame the next animal regardless of difficulty. The inspiration will end after 8 days, or when an animal was tamed.}}
: Colonist is inspired to tame an animal. S/he will successfully tame the next animal regardless of difficulty. S/he will not be able to tame any animal that s/he does not have the requisite skill level to tame however.

: The inspiration ends when an animal is tamed.

:* '''Base duration:''' 8 days 
:* '''Minimum skill:''' [[Skills#Animals|Animals]] 3

=== Inspired trade ===
{{Quote|<NAME> will get a significant trade price bonus when closing [PAWN_possessive] next trade deal. The inspiration will expire after 8 days, or when the deal is done.}}
: Colonist is inspired to obtain a great deal. S/he will get a great 18% boost in [[Trade Price Improvement|trade prices]], essentially meaning 12 more levels of [[Skills#Social|Social skill]].

: After one successful trade deal, the inspiration ends.

:* '''Base duration:''' 8 days 
:* '''Minimum skill:''' [[Skills#Social|Social]] 3

=== Shoot frenzy ===
{{Quote|<NAME> will shoot more accurately for the next 8 days.}}
: Colonist is somehow inspired to shoot more accurately and will shoot as if s/he has +8 additional shooting levels.

: This is more useful if the colony frequently receives raids or if the inspired colonist is a hunter.

:* '''Base duration:''' 8 days 
:* '''Minimum skill:''' None 
:* '''Incompatible Trait:''' [[Traits#Brawler|Brawler]], non-violent

=== Work frenzy ===
{{Stub|section=1|reason=Does this multiplication occur before or after the effect of traits such as Industrious?}}
