The Marigold Arc

The stream every instrument casts — a fat, forking arc of calm
Tool
In the game: Held in first person · one-of-one instruments in the Glimmery

✦ WHAT IT IS

The Arc soft-locks the nearest muerto, latches, and drains its calm by continuous contact while the thing writhes on the end of it. It chains muerto-to-muerto across a clustered conga line — the herding fantasy made mechanical.

The Arc is the stream, not the thing in your hands — every instrument in the Glimmery casts one, each burning its own flame. Between waves your compañero drafts it stronger: more range, a wider cone, another fork. Whatever you carry, it is always the Arc.
