Grian doesn't do redstone, that was a widely known fact. But no one really knows why, most assume it's because he doesn't know how to, they'd be wrong. Truth be told Grian was actually quite knowledgeable with the red dust, so why didn't he use redstone you may ask? Simple, he was cursed.

And when I say cursed I do mean cursed, as in that he was spelled to never be able to safely use it again.

You see, when he was younger Grian was even more of a prankster then he is now and couple that with his redstone capabilities he got himself in quite a lot of trouble. One day someone grew tired of the boys antics and decided to take matters into his own hands, capturing the dirty blond he performed a rite that would lock up all of Grian's knowledge of redstone, and to make sure they boy would never remember, he also made it so that all redstone stuff he touched would get destroyed.

But before he could fully finish everything Gertrude, Grian's guardian and a skilled witch, barged in and blasted the man away from the boy. Picking up the now unconscious boy, she made her way back to the cabin they lived in.

This was the final straw for her, and the next morning the cabin at the roads end was gone. The only thing sitting there was now a warning, a threat that only a fool wouldn't be wary of. It was as simple as a greeting, but as deadly as a 100 block fall in a hardcore world.

"Don't mess with a Craft, or you'll end up like him"

And the man? Well, he isn't exactly so much of a person as he is a pile of ashes.
