The Celestial Forge is the greatest combination of crafting powers in Jumpchain, meaning it is the greatest combination of crafting abilities in all of fiction.

His expanding collection of tinker abilities drag him into the city's cape conflicts.

"A new overlady, you say? She's a little short, although her temper is impressively vile. Oh well. Needs must when needs must. Too long have the lands of Halkeginia gone without true Evil. There are fluffy bunnies and happy ponies all over the place, frolicking! It makes me quite sick! No, it doesn't matter if she wants to or not. Because Evil always finds a way."

Another Death. Another Life. Born this time into modernity and wealth, things seemed almost too good to be true. Tania Raith had not realized just how right she was. Vampires! Ghouls! Fey!

The simple human need to make sure that whoever hurt you, whoever hurt those you love, will never be able to do so again. To ensure that even should you die, that your enemies would too."
