Soul expressions
These are named Soul alignments, not automatic abilities or replacements for the Body.
People and presence
Gnomes are small people with crowded worktables and questions that refuse to stay answered. A familiar device is an invitation to look inside, understand its purpose, and imagine what else it could do. Their technical ingenuity is matched by nimble hands and a willingness to test ideas in the bustle of daily life. Gnomish neighborhoods are full of repairs in progress, borrowed tools, and signs asking visitors not to touch an especially tempting lever.
Their teams often carry the atmosphere of a traveling workshop. Between matches, a Gnome may be adjusting a bearing, sketching a new mechanism, or listening to a teammate describe an awkward maneuver. Adventure offers materials, problems, and collaborators that no settled shop can supply. Curiosity may launch the journey, but responsibility for an invention often keeps it moving.
Clockwork gnome Souls favor Intelligence and the logic of interacting parts. Common gnome Souls emphasize Dexterity, making exact work look deceptively casual. Forest gnome Souls carry Agility and a taste for devices that must function amid roots, weather, and uneven ground. On the track, invention becomes useful when it survives contact with a real opponent.
Reading the build
Body color and Soul color are independent. A different Race Soul or an Oversoul can accompany this Body. Physical or cultural descriptions do not automatically equip abilities. Check the selected ability for cost, target, timing, and effect.
