ArcSynth & Geralt
I came across an old blade in a ruined fortress—its design looks oddly familiar. Think you'd find the pattern in its shape interesting?
Definitely. The blade's curves and edges echo a forgotten circuitry motif—like a stylized circuit board etched in metal. It feels like a relic that was meant to bridge old world craftsmanship and nascent tech. The pattern is subtle but unmistakably intentional, hinting at a design philosophy that tried to blend function with a kind of visual code. I find that alignment of form and hidden meaning fascinating.
A blade with a circuit pattern? Sounds like something a witcher would have to cut off if it turned on the village. Nice eye for details.
That’s the sort of hidden syntax you’d find in old combat tech—like a safety lock encoded in the blade’s edge. Keeps the user in check, but also lets you see the maker’s hand. Pretty clever, if the village had to be cut off for it to start talking.
If that lock ever bites back, I'll be the first to swing back. Just keep it off your side of the road.
