The Strength of Structure
Metallic types value logic, practicality, and proven methods. They don't reinvent the wheel—if something works, stick with it.
Characterized by reliability, directness, and a preference for clear black-and-white thinking. They keep things simple and don't waste mental bandwidth on unnecessary complexity.
When regenerated, they deliver excellence and dependability. When drained by chaos, ambiguity, or having to figure things out from scratch, they can become rigid and distant.
When Metallic types enter shadow, their structure becomes a cage. They may become so attached to systems and routines that any deviation feels threatening. Their logic can become a weapon, cutting off emotions in themselves and others. Their standards may become impossible, ensuring nothing and no one ever measures up - especially themselves.
