|Blacksmith's Tale

|Rust is the principle of that which makes and unmakes, and the slow decline of all things civilized. The most well-rounded path, your Mansus grasp will rust surfaces, or destroy rusted surfaces, granting you significant access. Its massive damage to non-organic matter also grants you a significant advantage over any silicons who might interfere with your research. Your blade can later work to destroy someone's equipment, or inject them with a reagent that will poison them. Your ascension spreads rust from your rite site, as well as granting you significantly more self-healing while you stand on rusted tiles.
