Legacy Power: Remote Detonation

"God DAMN it Ellis, I said he really needs a GLOW up, not... ugh, anyway, help me clean up this mess."

A 3 Gift Interface Power used by Ellis McGruber, created by BobDylan530.

Description

Due to his special affinity for explosives, Ellis is able to remotely impose his will on them, causing them to detonate (or theoretically, to disarm, but why would you ever want to STOP an explosion?). Any time he uses this to detonate an explosive, Ellis undergoes what seems like a sneeze, except that steam shoots out of his ears and his skin blazes the color of a hot fire, before rapidly cooling off back to a normal whiteish pink.

System

Spend an Action and target a Device within 300 feet. You may now communicate with the technology whether or not it exposes a physical interface. Concentration must be maintained or the connection will be lost.

This Power does not grant new functionality to the device, nor does it grant you any ability to forge authentication credentials or bypass security measures unless the device is already unlocked or logged in. For example, you may use it to control cars that have already been turned on, phones that are unlocked, or access emails on a computer that is already logged in.

It grants you access to its standard set of input/output devices (monitor, keyboard, touchscreen, buttons, etc).

Enhancements

  • Old School (You may issue commands to any Device, allowing you to operate switches, buttons, dials, levers, and latches.)

Drawbacks

  • One Way (You may send information but not receive it from your Interface.)
  • Conditional (This Effect is only available when a certain condition is met. This condition must be severe enough that this Gift is unusable the majority of the time.)
    • Condition - Only works on explosives

Parameters

Range: 2 ( 300 feet )
