The power to repair devices that have been damaged or destroyed.
Used by Archie Finnegan, Created by lumiq.
(When activating this Effect, it is obvious you are interacting with the target. )

Archie spends a minute messing with an object, maybe using duct tape, getting into the settings, opening the battery pack. There always seems to be some simple thing wrong with them, regardless of the original problem; Archie hits it a couple times, switches the batteries around maybe, and it’s miraculously fixed. He looks at you like he can’t believe you couldn’t do it yourself.


Exert your Mind and spend 10 Rounds to activate. Select a Object within arm's reach that is no larger than an SUV. Cannot be used on Alien technology. More than half the target object must be present in order to begin repairs. Roll Intellect + Investigation at Difficulty 6.

If you succeed, your target is repaired back to a functional state. If you fail, you spend the full time working before realizing you cannot repair the target.

You may only use this Effect once per day.

  • You can target yourself if you qualify as a valid target by the other requirements.
  • Your target must be within line of sight, or within range of another sense if more fitting for the Gift's flavor.
