Talk:The Shapeling Arts

OK, so lets discuss other body-shaping techniques of the Neath and how they can or can't be related to Shapeling Arts.

Starved invented their own branches of Shapeling Arts because they are human origin and so can't sense things that Rubbery can. But also, because Starved's ways were developed furter independently, they can do tings unknown to Rubbery.

Anthe's Sharpness looks less related, because when performing Shapeling Arts on someone makes them more malleable, flexible (excluding some occasions when someone specially do otherwise, like Starved growing armor on their bodies during invasion). But it share some things that at least looks common between them. They are body changing techniques. They can be applied to many different living beings (not only humans, but drownies and claymen can be Sharp, when Shapeling Arts are not limited to rubberies, it can be performed by humans and Starved and even on animals or skeletons). They both can be chemically stimulated. The only thing that we don't know is source of arts in Anthe, when about Starved we know they are related to rubberies because humans tried to do so themselves.

Liber Visionis technique of face-changing could be named as far-related to Shapelings too. As I remember, Snuffers are related to Shapelings, because Thief-Of-Faces was created by Flukes. Then Benjamin did research on Snuffers and created human variant of their facework, using wax.

There are also some stuff about body changing like that weird growing shell of regrets or just eating specific stuff like chertapples/peligin flesh or some applications of Red Science or unknown concoctions that Mr Cards need to drink, but I not call them related to Shapeling Arts.
