Ashkin-Tier - Local, single-target, low-impact tools. Affect individuals or single structures; easily contained by municipal wards. Minimal reserve cost; low legal visibility.
Slatewarden-Tier- Neighborhood-scale tools. Affect dozens or a block; moderate attunement and reserve. Municipal audits likely.
Relayhand-Tier-Tier - District-level tools. Reshape neighborhoods or coordinate multi-block lattices; heavy reserve draw and persistent ledger traces. Registrar intervention probable.
Vaultwright-Tier - Whole-city influence. Project/stabilize city-scale lattices or grant delegated municipal authority. Vast reserve and attestation costs; immediate high-priority registrar response.
Inkmarshal-Tier - Metropolitan/multi-city effects. Link municipal registers across cities, override intercity edicts temporarily, or orchestrate region-spanning lattices. Requires triple-ledger rites and sustained collateral.
Reliquary-Tier - Provincial/regional control. Restructure legal domains or maintain god-level lattices across provinces; sovereign courts and adjudicators intervene. Extraterritorial rules and severe sanctions apply.
Crosswrit -Tier - Nation/state scale. Rewrite or enforce nationwide edicts, project indestructible anchors across borders, or host nation-level registries. Permanent juridical consequences; international registrar coalitions respond.
Bloomforged-Tier - Singular, unparalleled artifacts that coordinate entire arsenals and orchestrate emergent multi-tool lattices under one wielder (e.g., the Living Reliquary/Tool-Vault collar). Can manifest multiple high-level nodes, mask emanations, and assume delegated municipal authority; extreme collateral, permanent attunements, and flagging by all registrar levels. Use risks catastrophic synchronized assimilation and extradimensional adjudication.
Latticeborne -Tier - Transcendent/plane-scale, above special-grade. Grants near-divine lattice mastery, true immortality within native realms, the ability to host or dominate other cursed tools, and to reshape metaphysical law (e.g., Shackles of Perpetual Account). Irreversible bindings, permanent juridical integration, and enforcement by cosmic registrars and existential checks; use can alter reality at a fundamental level.
