Special Interactions

Some markings interact uniquely with Coating, creating distinctive presentations when combined. Here's a list of these special markings.

Fade

Whenever Coating and Fade are both present on a design, Coating is allowed to override fade and change the saturation permissions of both itself AND Fade. Anytime Fade is present, Coating is allowed to be desaturated by Fade! It does not have to be fully desaturated, you may desaturate it as much or as little as you please!

Arcane

When Coating and Arcane are both present on a geno, Arcane is allowed to change one color of the gradient and/or the color of the stripes and spots to be pulled from the rolled Arcane slider instead of the rolled Coating slider. At least some of the original Coating color should still be visible, as should all spots/stripes.
