Logbook Entry
TRANSCRIPT taken from briefing by Dr. Niraj Patel, April 20th, 1967.
Thank you for taking the time to join us today, everyone. I'm well aware the military has plenty on its schedule. My assistant is passing out summary reports, but should you require more information, I have extensive, in-depth data collected over several years of research on a wide variety of phenomena here on the Peninsula.
My speciality has been what we have broadly categorized as geological Anomalies and today I'd like to update you on what many of your soldiers have been calling the "Blacksmith." Within just a couple of weeks, the Anomalies have already caused extensive disruption and a great deal of injury. They've demolished buildings. They've brought down transmitters. They've forced vehicles off the road. The damage done has already run into the millions and all of us, soldiers or scientists, are acutely aware of the costs we're accruing and the equipment we're writing off. I'm hoping we can pool our experiences and best practices and save one another a lot of stress and harm.
First, I'm hoping we can find a pattern to this latest Anomaly, the way we sometimes have with others. Second, I'm hoping we can find a way to predict and even avoid these. Let's start by reviewing some witness statements...

Synopsis
Appearing as a collection of large smooth rocks, Blacksmiths emit a pink glow when activated. It shakes the ground, launching the Car and/or the Driver into the air, before sending rows of rocky spikes, known as Titan's Bones, outwards from its location.
Counter
Activation of the LIM Shield ability before contact or having Puncture-Proof Tires equipped to the car can prevent any piercing damage. Otherwise, the Driver will have to depend on their dodging ability to avoid the spikes while driving.
Junction Conditions
Damage caused by Blacksmiths is increased when a junction has the 
Hammer and Anvil condition.
