Item from Iron Prince by Bryce O\

AI weapons that bond to human users, manifest as armor and weapons, and evolve through training and combat — the technology that makes humanity's stand against the Archons possible.

Also known as: CADs, Combat Assistance Devices, Devices

• Growth types: Brawler (close/fists), Saber (blades), Mauler (heavy damage), Phalanx (defense), Duelist (1v1), Lancer (reach)
• Atypical CADs cross growth-type boundaries — develop abilities that don't belong to any standard classification
• At the highest levels, CADs evolve into Devices — a qualitative transformation beyond normal progression
