Or we could use'em in some alchemy/smithery/... recipes. Or enchant
ring/whatever to increase stats?

Yes, I use it often, to spot monsters on maps, and such.
Sending faces could make more detailed maps.
Also, maybe we could implement automapping? So player knows some maps
already visited, and keep that knowledge between sessions. Maybe with
a 'forget' factor, losing some details :)
