Forge research unlocks
At the Forge, analyzing artifacts raises research level. Research can enable Abbey upgrades, including new rooms and areas; the source also describes researching The Art of The Fang at research level 1 to unlock a Yard upgrade for Training Dummies.
How it works
The Training Dummies upgrade then gives access to the Shove ability, which uses a move slot to knock an enemy back. This is a concrete research path linking Forge progression to a combat option.
Your next step
Reach research level 1 and research The Art of The Fang to unlock the Training Dummies upgrade.
