Plasma Etching

A form of graffiti created by burning words or symbols into surfaces using scavenged industrial plasma cutters. The process leaves behind warped, blackened scars—melted metal or seared concrete—often jagged and pitted as if the wall itself had been wounded. In some cases, faint residual glow lingers within the etching, especially in materials that retain traces of energy. Common in Gritfolk districts and underground resistance zones, plasma etching serves as both protest art and coded messaging—part rebellion, part legacy, always a risk.
