A base form Iron body grants a minimal level of superhuman strength and toughness to the artist (most prominent in Sacred Valley). But, if a sacred artist conducts specialized training and creates specific conditions they can achieve a more advanced level Iron body that will come with specific benefits. This is usually what is done for most sacred artists around the world of Cradle, as these benefits, if matched correctly to the Path of the artist, can enhance overall performance and compatibility within a Path.

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]


See Iron level details at Advancement to Iron

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]
