Nanocytes who choose the obliteration faculty get the following feat at first level: "Weapons you form with your gear array gain the penetrating and boost 1d4 special properties."
The rulebook indicates that the penetrating special property means: "A penetrating weapon ignores an amount of hardness equal to the weapon’s level."
Here's my question: In the case of nanocyte Gear Array created weapons, is the "level" for determining he amount of hardness ignored your Nanocyte level or the level of the weapon as it appears in its stats on the equipment list?

The latter is probably the intended meaning, but I doubt the former will break anything. Yeah, you could save space in your array by forming a low level weapon that still Penetrates well, in order to break high hardness objects. . . but how often is that actually going to matter, and what harm would be done by being able to do so?
