Exploit Analysis
Late-game skill probing System objects for unintended interactions that drive plot exploits.
Exploit Analysis represents a pivotal shift in Elias's gameplay, marking his transition from passive observation to active hacking of the System's rule set. As a late-game ability, it mechanically embodies his entire modus operandi by actively probing System objects to uncover unintended interactions. This skill is the engine behind the series' narrative progression, generating the specific 'new exploit' that drives each book's plot forward until Administrators inevitably patch the vulnerability.
