Free action was developed by Renrut Nek. Renrut had arthritis, and was teased by Karnek for it. Renrut began seeking a cure for his ailment. Karnek decided that he didn't want to stop teasing Renrut, so he decided to substitute his notes on paralyze and a strong beer for the arthritis notes. Unaware of the change, Renrut developed the art. When completed, Renrut called a Ruler's meeting. He was so confident, he evoked it and started a dance. After the rulers finally stopped laughing, they restored his broken hip. Renrut departed and left his art behind. It is now the common cure for stagger/paralyze. The beer in the story later became the foundation for stagger.
