The Channelers: Soul-Labor Class
Workers whose minds are consumed as conduits in node extraction systems.

Channelers convert Field leakage into usable fuel and pay with progressive cognitive erosion.
Worker Classes
- Hired (paid, still harmful)
- Forced (carceral coercion)
- Enslaved (worst-case industrial cruelty)
Damage Progression
Long exposure trends from fatigue to personality erosion to husk state.
Node empires run on this labor reality.
