Or to take a page from Harmony. Floating Soma with Valmanways. You practically won the game the instant you had this overpowered monstrosity of a build. Takes a lot of the teeth right out of a fight, and the game, for other players once you had two or three soma with em.

And no matter what additions there were, unless it was a Valmanways +1 soma players wouldn't touch it. Seems like a waste, right? And it poisoned everything those blades touched.
