To Craft is to transform the potential of raw materials into an object of purpose. It is the verb of creation, the act of imposing will upon matter to solve a problem, express an identity, or even reshape the self.
Within ATET, Crafting is not a simple menu interaction but a foundational pillar of gameplay, a creative process with multiple disciplines. The act of creation is governed by a deep and interconnected set of systems that define everything from the forging of a blade to the bio-engineering of a living Vessel.
