A base form Iron body grants a minimal level of superhuman abilities. Advancing to Iron improves all aspects of the human body and soul.

An iron body is the enhancement given to a sacred artist's physical form when they advance to Iron.[1] Every part of the body receives a degree of improvement, but many sacred artists will choose to prepare for advancement in a way that grants them additional ability in a certain area, such as particularly refining their strength or speed; often, they will choose one that pairs well with their Path. These specialised forms are known as perfect Iron bodies.[2]

If an artist advances to Iron without performing specific preparations, as is done in Sacred Valley, they will be left without any abilities beyond the baseline.[2] If their advancement is disrupted, they may be left permanently crippled.[1]
