Capabilities[]
The user can manipulate metal infused with the essence of darkness, allowing them to bend, reshape, and forge metallic substances that possess both the physical resilience of metal and the eerie, shifting properties of darkness. They can command metal as if it were an extension of their own will, causing blades to emerge from the shadows, chains to slither like serpents, or armor to form seamlessly over their body, shifting and adapting like living darkness.
Unlike ordinary metal, darkness-forged materials are not bound by conventional rigidity. They flow like liquid in the absence of light, reforming at the user's command, yet remain solid and unyielding when striking a target. These creations can phase in and out of tangibility, allowing them to bypass obstacles before solidifying once more to deal devastating blows. Weapons made from shadow-metal seem to drink in light, appearing as jagged silhouettes against their surroundings, while armor grants protection that absorbs and disperses incoming energy rather than merely deflecting it.
By intertwining their control over darkness and metal, the user can corrupt existing metallic structures, causing them to darken, rust, or twist into sinister shapes. Walls buckle under their will, blades crumble into dust, and chains reform into wicked bindings that tighten around their prey. In areas thick with darkness, their power reaches new heights, enabling them to extend their influence across vast distances, striking from the shadows with tendrils of razor-edged steel.
The nature of their abilities makes them especially dangerous in environments where metal is abundant, as even the smallest fragment can become a deadly weapon in their hands. With concentration, they can dissipate portions of their creations into the shadows, making them temporarily intangible before reshaping them elsewhere. This makes their attacks unpredictable, as blades may emerge from unexpected angles, and shields can vanish just long enough to lure an enemy into a false sense of security before reappearing at the perfect moment.
At its peak, this power allows the user to manifest entire battlefields of shifting metal and darkness, creating a domain where weapons strike from unseen angles and armor reforms as quickly as it is damaged. Every movement blurs the line between what is solid and what is merely a trick of the shadows, making them a near-unstoppable force when fully immersed in the void of their own darkness.
