Gnome
"A Gnome does not learn how a device works. They remember. The mechanism is already in them — you just have to show it to them once."
— Provost Liora Thorne, Starwrought Enclave, on Gnome enrollment ratesGnomes built the Prismatic and calibrate the Enclave's most delicate instruments — not because they work harder, but because they read systems at a level that borders on instinct.
A Gnome can look at a piece of hemotech they've never encountered and know its principles within minutes. They hear a malfunctioning device and know what's wrong before they open it.
This isn't a gift. It's what happens when a race spends five centuries doing nothing else. Fine silver-blue lines follow the nervous system, flickering when a Gnome concentrates on a mechanical problem.
Circuit Trace
Fine silver-blue lines following the nervous system — most visible at the temples, behind the ears, and along the forearms. They flicker when the Gnome is concentrating on a mechanical problem, like current running through wire.
