Crafting abilities should be in the action bar and used by the player when they want (with a timer or only used once per synthesis).

Same for the Discipline of the Land, use the abilities/traits when they want in the action bar while gathering.

Both Discipline of the Hand and Land need a complete reform and become more than menu interactions.
Actions in action bars, true always active traits, and different mini-games using the actions in the action bar.

I guess i'll start posting my mini-games idea...
