PsychoSpikes

PsychoSpikes first appear in Dark Age as a terrifying new weapon of the Rising, engineered to turn captured Obsidians into berserk, pain-immune shock troops. Their deployment marks a grim escalation in the war between the Republic and the Society Remnant, revealing how far the once-idealistic rebellion has drifted from its original principles. Across the series, the Spikes evolve from experimental atrocity to a symbol of the moral cost of victory, forcing characters to confront the question of whether any enemy is monstrous enough to justify creating monsters of their own.
