SYNTAX:

tan <skin>

Tanning is the process of treating skin or hide into leather to be sewn or crafted in some other fashion.  The process requires application of some tannic acid, and some patience.  The skin is scraped slightly to make sure it is clean of any debris and an application of tannic acid is added to toughen the skin, and it is then left to dry in the sun for a while.  The process might be repeated several times over the course of a tanning. A hide will need to be scraped clean of any fur before it can be tanned. The amount of leather you get from a skin depends on the size of the starting skin, and your skill in tanning, as well as a few intangible things.  If you succeed, you will end up with a sheet of leather, if not you will destroy the skin.  Tanning can also be used to preserve sheets of fur.
