You don’t normally battle, preferring to stay in the background and create equipment for the true warriors or your own curiosity. Through diligent work, study, and creation you have become what many might consider a prodigy. With your newfound prowess, your technology shines like never before and you are able to bring your inventions to life faster than ever before, or even get destroyed equipment running once again.
