Cogsmithing

Cogsmithing is a form of tinkering done by cogsmiths. There are different aspects to cogsmithing, all of which involve the creation of works of engineering that involve gears, levers, valves, gauges and, of course, cogs.
An illegal, alternative form of cogsmithing is brasshrinking, performed by brasshrinks. This is the process of applying brassworks to the human form, altering it. This is illegal in every part of Iskandera and its utilization is currently seen as more of a theory than an actualized application.
== History ==
Cogsmithing started around the time of Blausten von Clausewitz's graduation from Anngratz Academy. His graduating project was that of a steam-engine that he had designed alone. The design of this engine launched a worldwide interest in steam-work technology, which later evolved into the cogsmithing niche. Such a niche was pushed further by Clausewitz's inventing of the mechanical clock and pocketwatch.
