Int rewards those who succeed and punishes failure. Through Int, Evolist followers can use Static Divinium to empower Artifacts in their ownership which unlocks extra Mechanics on them when it is performed. Corrupting an Artifact this way can only be done once per Artifact, with more information found on the Artifacts Page. This also Void-Corrupts it with the power of Int. If the Artifactspark is removed, or the Artifact is lost to the Evolist who owned it, the upgrades are removed and the Artifact is de-powered.

Backstory
"Does a mechanized heart not beat?"
It is a cruel existence, to be born broken—one Sentry knows all too well. He awoke cold and alone, the world around him a ruin. No warmth greeted him. Only the low, beating thrum of a mechanical heart—meant to comfort, but offering none. He was the Machinists' great gamble—their attempt to copy Unionist Hallowtech. Where Unionists built glowing saints of porcelain and gold, powered by divine light, he had no such glow. His body was the same pale shell, smooth and perfect—but inside, there was no such holy warmth.
It was meant to be a cruel irony. A vessel forged to contain something ancient and terrible, encased in porcelain and grace like the saints of Unionist legend. But the ritual to bind that God into the body failed, as the Darkwald Order descended on the Machinist ritual hall. Steel met flesh, screams filled the sanctum, and every last worshipper was slaughtered. The god never came. The only thing that remained was a holy vessel and a broken spirit too dim to carry the weight of divinity.
Years passed, and his hatred festered—matched only by his desperation. In time, he sought out Int and forged a deal: in exchange for blood, he would be given the knowledge behind his creation. Int gave him six red bullets, each etched with a riddle and tied to a name. Now, with the same empty strumming of a cold mechanical heart, he hears Int's whispers, echoing in the hollow vessel of a failed god.

Plot hooks:
Devotion--
Sentry's personality is shaped by absence of purpose. He tends to fixate on those who show him kindness or give him direction, often mistaking them for saviors. To these few, he offers unwavering, almost desperate loyalty, seeing in them a reason to keep moving. Though cold and mechanical on the surface, he clings to the idea of meaning through service—becoming whatever he believes others need him to be.
Desperation--
Sentry is driven by a frantic desperation, constantly searching for meaning. Without an explanation for who he is, he believes he ceases to exists as nothing more than a shell or a broken machine. His need for purpose consumes him, pushing him to extremes.
Glass Flesh--
Though Sentry's entire being is defined by the spirit inhabiting his body, after decades of coexistence, he has grown deeply attached to it. He believes this body is the only thing that ties him to his past. Without it, he isn't sure if he would still be Sentry at all and he fears he might cease to exist entirely, losing his last tether to purpose, identity, and the essence of what he is.
Temperament--
After years of feigning being a mere machine, Sentry's temperament has transformed into a powder keg wherein one wrong spark could set him ablaze. He struggles with a bipolar shift in temperament, caught between cold, mechanical detachment and wild, impulsive emotion.
