The Artisan Guild hosts its own grand event: the annual Artisan Expo.
Held every year since the end of the Asterleeds Independence War, the Artisan Expo is now approaching its seventh installment. What kind of brilliant inventions will appear this year?

1. 4th-Gen Engram Engine
The Engram Engine is a reliable gold-medal contender. Widely used and steadily improving with each version, this small engine holds endless potential.
It's been making significant contributions to various industries of Asterleeds. According to Engine artisans, the Engram Engine still has much room for growth.

However, the third-generation engine was so spectacular and has already won multiple awards. Judges may want to give other innovations a chance this year. After all, the Expo is open to the public, and if the award results feel too predictable, it could dampen public enthusiasm.
Regardless, the Engram Engine remains a solid fallback for the gold medal.

2. Modular Luminous Unit.
A remarkable Legacy module that can shape light however you want. It can focus into a powerful beam or disperse into a wide, illuminating field.

According to artisans, with sufficient energy, the beam could stretch from the tallest spire in Asterleeds' diocese to the Ruins of Andra City.
Moreover, this module has immense expansion potential. Some artisans propose embedding data in the beam for instant information transmission. Others suggest strengthening the beam to turn it into a weapon piercing heavy armor and shields.

3. Hypnosis Ray
A bizarre invention that can instantly make a creature collapse into sleep.
Forging artisans accidentally synthesized a crystal with hypnotic properties.
In darkness, the crystal charges itself. Upon exposure to light, it releases a dazzling wave of energy that induces sleep in everyone present. This wave is so penetrative that even closed eyes can't block it.

It has promising application potential, such as subduing dangerous people, deterring monsters, and even becoming a standard-issue weapon for the army.
However, the Hypnosis Ray Crystal is still in the testing phase. Its instability and unavoidable effect make it difficult to apply in real-world scenarios.
Imagine a guard pulling the trigger to subdue a suspect, only to collapse first because he forgot to wear protective gear. The scene would be quite hilarious.
