💎 Facet & Flaw: The Geode-Grit – Jewel-Thief’s Refraction

Cleave the Light. Polish the Scars. The soft, organic world has been crushed under eons of tectonic stress, resurfacing as a jagged, crystalline wasteland of blinding brilliance and razor edges. The "Geode-Grit" isn't a landscape; it’s a high-carat prison of mirrors. By assuming the Jewel-Thief’s Refraction, you aren't just a trespasser—you are the beam that shatters the prism. This transformation grants instant Luster-Lease for all kaleidoscope-cloning, laser-bouncing navigation, and quartz-skin hardening at a suppressed Clarity-Loss cost.

📜 The Mineral Manifestos (Quarry Expeditions)

• The Obsidian Arteries: Descend into the "Glass-Cut Sub-Strata," a lightless underworld of volcanic shards where every movement risks a thousand micro-lacerations. The "Mirror-Shades"—predators made of polished flint—perfectly mimic your silhouette to hide within your own reflection.

• The Prism-Bleed Contagion: A localized "Rainbow-Fever" is turning the environment into a blinding strobe of incoherent light. You must locate the "Polarizing-Filters" to dampen the glare before your optical sensors are permanently scorched into a white-out state.

• The Diamond Dictatorship: Storm the massive "Karat-Keep" of the Carbon-Kings. A high-pressure conflict has erupted between a radical "Raw-Stone" resistance, a fleet of "Precision-Cutter" drones, and a massive, multi-faceted AI Overlord that calculates your defeat through millions of refractive angles. Will you chip the stone or become an inclusion?

⚙️ Lapidary’s Implements & Cut-Glass Hardware

• The Gem-Cutter’s Kit (Utility Expansion): Gear designed for navigating a world of extreme hardness. Includes Suction-Grip Pikes, Light-Bending Cloaks, and Resonant-Tuning Forks that cause crystalline structures to shatter or hum into bridges.

• Hard-Point Armory (Weapons Expansion): High-density tools for the crystalline enforcer. Features the Monocrystalline Edge-Blade, the Ruby-Laser Repeater, and the Prismatic-Flash Mine (which blinds enemies with a 360-degree burst of refracted sunlight).
