Chinese wordplay fun we can have with Chui Dao:

1. 锤盗: Hammer Thief (either a hammer who steals other people's stuff, or someone who steals other people's hammers)

2. 锤到: The Hammer Arrives (a useful battle-cry for when Kong Zhi is smacking Geng Tu with our hammer)

3. 锤道: The Way / Path of the Hammer (Kong Zhi's new philosophy of life - everything looks like a nail if you have a big enough hammer)

4. 吹倒: Blown Away (the effect that our hammer will have on any fool that we smack)

We could even do a poem with all these:

锤盗锤道; (Chuidao Chuidao)
The Hammer Way of the Hammer Thief;

锤到吹倒! (Chuidao Chuidao)
Is that the Hammer's Arrival will Blow Away All Who Stand in Its Path!
 
I think I've figured out the hammer Kukuni's other anam, purpose. Purpose would have the sharp clarity of steel while also being more erratic and less disciplined. It would also be why it's happy and excited to be used in crafting and combat, it's happy whenever it has purpose.

Broadly speaking the Kukuni was born from the moment of long unactualized purpose actualizing. It was born in the Lost Armory which is a place steeped in the purpose of both the Lost Armory and the Kukuni of War. The Lost Armory was created with the purpose of trapping a Kukuni of War, it did, to unleash when it was needed, it did not. The Kukuni of War was trapped and, no matter how much it tried, unable to actualize its purpose to the point it went mad. The weapons were keys to actualizing each of those purposes.
 
SEG radar is an option, and the fact that it costs mental stress means we can't do it very often. I think we should try to fire this one off immediately next week, as the sooner we do it the sooner that we can start recovering from the mental stress, meaning the second activation comes sooner.

Research in the archives is also an option. I've heard of a plan to search for the throne/capital of the Moloch to try to get royalty anam, which is an option. We really need a Steel source though, SotP takes a lot more Steel Anam then Royalty. How would we go about searching for a source of Steel specifically?
I think a steel wonder could be found at old battle sites. I suppose we could look for iron deposits as well. There might be forges close by.

I think we should try this set up for at least Steel and Royalty

[] Write-in: You have your own ideas of what to look for in the Archives regarding the Natural Wonders you need for your techniques, but maybe your fellow Caretakers can offer some clues or maybe even know the location of one of them. You will humbly those available at the Warren.
[] You now have nearly unlimited access to the Archives of the Delving Heart. You will take advantage of this to search for Natural Wonders.
-[] You will look for clues regarding location of wonders needed for your techniques. Starting with X and then Y Hints for X and Y could be [insert hints].

It's not like we'd need to know the exact location either, since we could do a SEG search after we find the general location. It'd be extremely helpful to just rule out more than half of the area to be searched.

Someone on discord mentioned using SEG to find a Smoke wonder based on the feeling that KZ gets from a Cloud's Breath. I think it might be an idea to look in the general area of the hot mud river. Something must have heated it up, and smoke is usually where the fire is. That action could probably be written like this

[] Recently, you have mastered the Stallion's Enclosed Garden, and with it, an enhancement to your sixth sense. Though it will be tiring and difficult, perhaps you can use this technique to refine your hunts through the tunnel. (Counts as Two Actions. Costs one box of mental stress.) (PHYSICALLY TAXING)

Calling your extending hammer your little brother sounds like a crude joke.

*facepalm* well now that you mentioned it...

小弟弟 (Xiaodidi / "Little Brother")is indeed a Chinese slang / euphemism for "penis".
