[Well, not just build a new one. She would need some very specific materials sourced from time rifts, and-

...anyway, Craft!]

He certainly would! Hmm... it would be quite funny... but I am in no mood for more bruises.

[And Loop shouldn't be using a bunch of Craft either. So, definitely not that one.]

We may as well start with the Scissors type, then. What does a non-combat Craft of that sort entail?

Carving, engraving, needlework... anything that uses a sharp tool, basically! That's why it's called Piercing Craft. You use the tool as a channel to weave in the Craft and it changes the properties of the object you're working on. Like an animated carving, or clothes that are always warm, that kind of stuff!

I used to do wood carvings, but I didn't usually Craft them that much. I just wanted them to look nice! Animating something solid takes a lot of practise to make it look good, but getting something to move at all isn't that hard. We could try that? But it might be easier if it's something you already know how to do.

How perfectly logical! I do know some needlework - it is necessary in my line of work. A stitch in time is quite literal, you know! My Sonic Embroider is a needle as well as scissors in that sense - ah, but it is not here.

[She pauses a moment, tapping her chin, glancing down towards her lap, though her expression is a focused blank.]

Since Craft requires a tool as a focus, we shall have to use something else.
