Artefacts gaining the ability to harm the skin of a predator-ranked walker when even a mystic's enhanced fist couldn't leave a scratch.
This wasn't the result of any special characteristic inherent to the artefacts themselves.
No, it was the application of mana that ultimately decided the outcome between the two, determining which one would prove fatal when facing a predator-ranked walker.
If a mystic enhanced or an artefact mana enhanced would see past a predator's steel like skin.
When an artefact is used, the mana embedded in that artefact responds to the violent mana of the predator, the same destructive force that has transformed the walker into what it is, a force of raw devastation.
Why such a reaction occur upon collision, how does it work, or when it first manifest?
These questions remain unanswered.
Though the research is ongoing, a comprehensive explanation is still elusive.
