Midwife's Book on Contraception

Description
A book that gives a massive fertility penalty while equipped so that you can choose to not have kids without celibacy.

In the middle ages women's reproductive health was a great mystery, to men. Women however had shared information about birth control and pregnancy through informal networks since antiquity.

Female characters can get the book simply by taking an intrigue decision. There is a small cost of piety and gold but they will get also get a chance to earn a point in the learning attribute.

Male characters must target (right click) a female character with the mystic trait who either owes them a favor or has 100 personal opinion of them. They must pay a little bit more piety and gold for the book, and they will not gain any learning points.

Both decisions are only available to the player and can only be taken once per character. The book can only be equipped by the player. It cannot be gifted. It can be inherited.

The actual stats of the book are:
Quality: 3
Fertility: -5000.0%
Health: +0.50
Temple Vassal Opinion: -10
Sex Appeal: +10


I've made this as compatible as I know how.

if your character is male, the decision should be in the menu when you right click on the portrait of the mystic female character. the option should be there for any mystic female character, though it remains grey and locked until you meet the requirements. after you have received the book, this option will disappear for the rest of your character's life.

if it's not showing in that menu at all then something has gone wrong.

as a last resort you can get the book through the console with the command "add_artifact midwifes_book"

can you be more specific? i just tried it in the latest patch and it seems to work for me.
are you having trouble getting the book or is the book not reducing fertility?
