I've been working on an original setting i'm calling Vorm.
Meet one of the main characters: The Inventor, Gem.
She spends a lot of time working with magic residue and making little machines to try to make the lives of the townfolk better. Mostly she just gets treated as the weird old lady on the edge of town. Which is not really accurate, because she's only 27. Magic just ages you like hell when you're exposed long enough and don't know how to detoxify from it. She's working on that too. It's on the list.
Not seen is the lil buggy friend she adopts because she keeps seeing them at the docks and is just like "it's kinda cute. I'm gonna take it home"
Not pictured are her scorched fingertips from the magic heating things up really fast. And she'd have full gloves if you didn't need to, at their current tech level, physically make a circuit for the magical energy to travel through. The tattoos help, but mostly in a ceremonial "remember which arm moves first" way.
Her goggles do have glass in them, it's just very thick and heavy. Thus how thick the strap keeping her mask on is.
