Blood rot
Def Name: BloodRot
Label: blood rot
A slow-growing bacterial disease. The bacteria have little effect on the victim during their growing phase, but upon reaching saturation levels will induce a toxin storm that leads to immediate death.
The body's immune system will clear blood rot eventually, so the standard treatment is to use normal medicine to suppress it until that happens. Glitterworld doctors can use a massive mechanite dose to clear the infection immediately, but it is expensive.
A slow-growing bacterial disease. Upon reaching full saturation, it will kill the affected individual.
A condition that makes a person unable to walk by interfering with the motor cortex. After enough time, patients recover naturally as the brain rewires itself, but the process is slow. There is also a chance of a lucky early recovery. This illness can be completely cured with a special procedure, but the procedure requires large amounts of glitterworld medicine.
A neurological condition that makes a person unable to walk. Patients recover naturally but the process is slow.
An installed mindscrew. Inflicts continuous pain on the user. Mindscrews are used by some authorities as a long-term punishment. Some even install them voluntarily as a demonstration of ideological or religious devotion.
An installed drill arm. Allows the miner to rapidly find and exploit weak lines in the rock. It also has a general-purpose manipulator. It is somewhat ungainly, which slows down movement slightly.
An installed field hand. Made to speed up the sowing and harvesting tasks of a farmer. Multiple telescoping finger-like protrusions can simultaneously harvest from several points on the same plant, or precisely sow several holes at once. It also has a general-purpose manipulator. It is somewhat ungainly, which slows down movement slightly.
An installed hand talon. Extends from a hidden opening between the middle and ring fingers. The talon is longer than the palm, but it becomes flexible upon retracting, allowing the user to curl it up and conceal it inside the hand. It can perform rapid slashing attacks, but is poor at penetrating armor.
Lower damage means lower AP than other compact weapons, but it's faster with more raw DPS

Elbow blade
Def Name: ElbowBlade
Label: elbow blade
Label Noun: an elbow blade
An installed elbow blade. Extends at will from a hidden opening at the end of the ulna. Appearing without warning, it can be used for devastating slice attacks.
An installed knee spike. Extends at will from a hidden opening on the front of the knee. Appearing without warning, it can be used for devastating stabbing attacks which penetrate even thick armor.
An installed venom talon. The user can scratch an enemy while squirting venom into the wound. The talon is designed to be installed in the middle finger. It's fast, but poor at penetrating armor.
An installed neurocalculator. A non-intelligent microcomputer controlled by a visual/tactile neural interface. It assists with memory and calculation, like a calculator and notepad embedded in the brain.
An installed learning assistant. A sensory recording system that replays important experiences during sleep, strengthening the formation of new memories.
An installed gastro-analyzer. Enhances the sense of smell, with a focus towards food-related smells. A multi-layered ultrafine absorption mesh detects compounds in the air. A microprocessor formats the readings into an olfactory nerve signal to send to the brain through a nerve-link interface. The result is that the user can smell foods with a depth, richness, and precision unknown among unenhanced humans, allowing them to cook more effectively. The whole unit is small enough to be installed in the nose without affecting the user's appearance.
An installed immunoenhancer. An analysis computer which inspects the bloodstream, classifies pathogens, and rapidly prompts the body's natural immune system to respond to them faster than it could alone. This speeds immunity gain significantly.
An installed healing enhancer implant. Releases nanomachines and healing factors that speed up wound healing. This implant only helps with physical wounds, and does nothing to combat disease or other health problems.
An installed toughskin gland. Releases chemicals and nanomachines that toughen the skin, making it somewhat more resistant to damage. While it doesn't add as much protection as some other skin-hardening glands, the toughskin gland has the advantage of not noticeably altering the user's appearance.
An installed armorskin gland. Releases chemicals and nanomachines that toughen the skin and add flexible subdermal keratin plates at strategic points. This makes the user more resistant to damage across their whole body. Unfortunately, these changes make the skin appear leathery, with wrinkles across the whole body and face, which is generally considered ugly.
An installed stoneskin gland. Releases chemical and nanomachines that transform the user's skin into a built-in suit of armor. The whole epidermis thickens and hardens to resist burns, while jointed exterior keratin plates form everywhere they can - including the head and face. While it's very difficult to physically hurt someone using this implant, the plates and hard skin significantly reduces the user's physical attractiveness.
An installed aesthetic shaper. A sophisticated package of hormonal and mechanite influences shapes the muscles and fat on the body, adding non-functional aesthetic tissue where needed to achieve a desired appearance. This implant can be configured to form various body shapes according to the user's taste - or that of their partner.
An installed love enhancer. Makes physical and chemical changes to the body which enhance the experience of lovin' for both partners - both physically and psychologically. The implant unit can adapt to enhance both men and women upon being implanted.
An installed reprocessor stomach. Includes an advanced chemical processing system breaks down nutrients the body could normally never use, leading to increased efficiency.
An installed nuclear stomach. A micro-nuclear reactor combined with complex chemical synthesis replaces the body's need for food energy. Food is required only to replace matter lost from the body, reducing the user's intake needs significantly. This artificial stomach cannot get food poisoning. However, there is little room to shield the reactor, so the radiation increases the risk of cancer.
An installed circadian half-cycler. Isolates half of the brain, allowing the other half to sleep while the user remains outwardly awake. By alternating brain halves, the user never needs to sleep. Unfortunately, two hemispheres are better than one - working with half a brain causes a reduction in consciousness.
An installed psychic sensitizer implant. Stimulates growth in the regions of the brain related to psychic interaction, thus increasing psychic sensitivity.
An installed psychic harmonizer implant. Projects the user's mood in a spherical psychic field, forcing others nearby to feel a blurred, simplified version of their emotions. It can be a powerful tool to keep morale high, but if the user becomes unhappy, it can lead to collective disaster.
An installed psychic reader implant. Gives limited mind-reading ability, improving the user's ability to get the upper hand in negotiations and social situations. The effect is proportional to the user's psychic sensitivity.
Despite being called "heat", neural heat is not a measure of temperature. It refers to a type of chaotic psychic energy in the mind which builds up when using psychic powers and dissipates over the course of a few seconds or minutes.
If neural heat is pushed past normal limits, it may cause temporary psychic breakdown and unconsciousness due to psychic shock. These conditions don't cause permanent damage.
Chaotic energy in the mind which builds up when using psychic powers. If pushed past normal limits, it may cause psychic breakdown and unconsciousness.
Psychically-induced feelings of warmth, comfort, and acceptance. This improves mood, but the lack of negative stimulation induces a mild stupor and reduces consciousness.
