As you know, there are levels of mastery for puppet users. These levels are broken into 3 categories. Each categories shows how many fingers you have to have to control ONE puppet
Novice ( 10 fingers )
Intermediate ( 5 fingers )
Master ( 1 finger )
When you start off, you are not even considered a Novice, because you have not been taught anything.
Basically 500 words for each hand. If you don't get it, then this will help you further understand.

1. 5000
2. 4500

5. 3000
6. 2500
7. 2000
8. 1500
9. 1000
10. 500
This is addition to each other, so you do not have to do 500 then another 1000 for 9. once you reach a total of 5k you reach 1 finger level.
