Things to avoid doing
As a clerk, while you have uses, some things you do not excel with at all.
Combat - The clerks are poor fighters and they cannot use much without outside help, any abnormality with risk level beyond TETH is not worth attempting to fight as your death can cause more trouble than the benefit from you fighting.
Taking EGO and welling EGO - Your capabilities do not allow you to use most of EGO, keep it where it is meant to be instead of making agents take it off your hands with force. Do not use EGO resources on wishing well tool without permission.
Building oversight or ill intent - Do not change furniture landscape in a way that would make life of agents harder.
