Carpentry Dominion
Name: Carpenter's Blessing
Metaphor: The carpenter establishes dominion over Saol. They do this by infusing plant matter with their own life force.
Abilities:
Passive – Range Extension
The carpenter can make bows and crossbows that shoot further than normal. The carpenter channels their saol into the back of the bow while laying out a section of wood which fills gaps at the molecular level. The saol takes on a bendy property, allowing the bow to flex more than it normally would be able to. The wood soaks in regular infusions of saol for a week. When it's time to tiller the back, the carpenter channels their saol into the wood once more. This time the goal is to cure the infused saol such that the wood can withstand its new bendy property without snapping. Taking advantage of the increased power of the bow does not require any additional effort on the part of the marksman. The end result is a bow that has an increased effective range.
Active – Saolite fountain
The carpenter takes a section of magical flora and uses their saol to draw out the magic in the form of saolite. They saturate the flora with their energy and it destabilizes the cellular structure in such a way that the bonds that hold the fibers together are broken and the resulting magical energy they held is condensed into saolite. This causes the material to degrade to a useless state. Producing saolite costs 5 SP per gram and consumes reserves.
Buff - Razor Edge
The carpenter shaves away material to create an incredibly sharp edge. Normally such a thin and sharp edge would be unable to cut anything as it would break too easily - however the carpenter applies a layer of protective saol onto the edge, effectively holding the edge firm for a short time. It is most typically used by an armorer before a group of fighters go into battle.
