Self-Forming Clay
Self-Forming Clay is the stored Block from the Ironclad relic Self-Forming Clay. Each time you lose HP in combat, the relic adds 3 to the power. At the start of your next turn, at the moment your leftover Block is cleared, the power turns its whole stack into fresh Block and removes itself. Take three hits during one enemy turn and you open the next turn with 9 Block.

Notes
The Block is flat and ignores Dexterity, Frail and Block multipliers. Only unblocked damage triggers the relic, so a fully blocked hit adds nothing, while self-damage on your own turn does count. The conversion happens at the block-clear step, so the Block is in place before you play a card. It triggers per loss, not per point, so many small hits feed it better than one big one.
If you haven't bought Slay The Spire 2 yet, it's time. Support the devs, they made an amazing game.
