Emily is what you would call a Disruptionist. These specialized mages are a unique and very controlled class of Steamcasters and are practitioners of a remarkable magic known as Disruptech. Unlike many other classes that focus on combat or utilitarian abilities, Disruptionists specialize in the art of interference and disruption. Their talents are predominantly non-combative but prove essential in navigating the intricacies of the steampunk world.
Disruptech, as practiced by Disruptionists, involves the manipulation of steam to counter, interfere with, or sabotage machinery and magical spells. Their precise and intricate abilities are harnessed to disrupt enemy Mechamagic, rendering adversary devices and spells inefficient.
Adorned in attire featuring dark, contrasting colors and patterns reminiscent of chaos and interference, Disruptionists blend seamlessly into the underground world of manipulation and espionage. They are often tasked with the protection and sabotage of vital information, ensuring that classified data remains confidential and hidden from prying eyes.
Disruptionists employ an array of steampunk gadgets, including steam-casting gloves with built-in steam venting systems, specialized steam cannons for targeted disruptions, carefully crafted jewelry that displays their central hacking system, and steam-infused ammunition designed to hinder enemy machinery.
In a world filled with powerful magic and steam-powered innovation, Disruptionists play a critical role in maintaining balance and safeguarding secrets. While they might not be the first choice for a direct confrontation, their abilities are invaluable when it comes to waging a covert and silent war amidst the intricate mechanisms and secrets of this extraordinary realm.
In the intricate world of steampunk and Mechamagic, few individuals are as feared and elusive as rogue Disruptionists. Renowned for their exceptional hacking and interference skills, these rogue Steamcasters have slipped from the grasp and watchful eyes of governments and organizations, making them some of the most dangerous and enigmatic figures in the realm.
These outlaws have chosen the path of seclusion, often adopting new identities and dwelling in hidden underground sanctuaries. They exploit their Disruptech abilities to bypass security systems, intercept vital information, and disrupt the machinations of those who seek to control or monitor their activities.
Utilizing specially crafted steam-enhanced tools and gadgets, rogue Disruptionists pose a significant threat to any entity that relies on machinery or technology. Whether it's infiltrating classified databases, siphoning wealth from powerful corporations, or exposing hidden government secrets, their actions can lead to chaos and uncertainty in this intricate society.
Despite their illicit activities, rogue Disruptionists are not always considered malevolent. Some use their skills for personal gain, while others embrace the mantle of digital vigilante, seeking to expose corruption and injustices. Their motivations are as diverse as their methods, and their motives remain shrouded in mystery.
To confront these elusive figures is to engage in a battle of wits and technology, as they consistently outmaneuver their pursuers through layers of cleverly designed security and countermeasures. The realm of steam and Mechamagic remains on edge, unsure whether these rogue Disruptionists are champions of justice or masters of chaos, but one thing is certain: they remain a potent force to be reckoned with in this world where steam and innovation intersect.

As Emily's Disruptech abilities sprang into action, the Glyphgaurd's intricate defense mechanisms began to unravel. His protective barriers, once resilient and shimmering with steampunk brilliance, shattered into glimmering shards of glass, disintegrating around him. The sudden loss of his defenses left him vulnerable and exposed.
Seizing the opportunity, Silas exploited the opening Emily had provided. With focused determination, he aimed directly for the weakened point of his adversary's defense, striking it with unrelenting force. The Glyphgaurd's hardened leather jacket, which had been his final layer of protection, crumbled into countless pieces as the impact shattered it.
As the Glyphgaurd launched a flurry of wild and desperate attacks, Silas expertly dodged each one, his precise movements mirroring the rhythm of his opponent's assaults. However, his agility and grace contrasted starkly with the ineffectual steam tech efforts of his adversary. Each frantic attempt to access the steam-based spells only resulted in feeble puffs of steam, their once formidable power now reduced to mere wisps.
With a burst of speed and accuracy, Silas launched a precise sidekick that connected squarely with the Glyphgaurd's liver. The blow struck like a thunderbolt, sending a jolt of excruciating pain through the man's body. Overwhelmed by the searing agony, he dropped to his knees, clutching his side in sheer torment.
Silas didn't hesitate and capitalized on this opportunity. In a fluid motion, he brought his knee crashing into the Glyphgaurd's face. The impact was devastating, snapping the man's head back and rendering him unconscious. He crumpled to the ground in a heap, his body limp and unresponsive. The fight had come to a decisive end, and Silas stood victorious, his opponent incapacitated at his feet.
"The hell was that?" Silas huffed through an insurmountable amount of exhaustion. His body was so weak and untrained that he was practically about to faint.
"Just ask your steam what a Disruptionist is. Later, we'll tell you more about the magic system… well, that's if you survive."

"And this is what you are?"
"Mhm… anyways, from what I can tell, that was the last guy. My steam isn't catching any other readings, so let's infiltrate the backstage now. It should be a clear cruise until the escorts get here, but… who knows, they probably won't even show up, right Glover?"
'Yeah, yeah… I'll take care of 'em."
