Technology Manipulation

Manifested as a special form of electical/telekinetic manipulation, a special form of "morphing" which allows physical interaction with machines, or even a psychic ability that allows mental interface with computer data.

Also Called

 * Technology Manipulation
 * Technological Manipulation
 * Technokinesis
 * Technopathy

Capability
The ability to manipulate technology. Manifested as a special form of electrical/telekinetic manipulation, a special form of "morphing" which allows physical interaction with machines, or even a psychic ability that allows mental interface with computer data.

Users can control the flow of intricate machinery and can allow them to assemble or disengage their programing at will. Can operate most technology just by touching or looking. A variation on Electric Manipulation, the user controls specific electrons and instructs them which items to engage or disengage. Some users may even be able to use the electric impulses to gently control smaller metal parts.

Limitations

 * Can’t control purely mechanical objects which possess no electronic or ferrous components.
 * Usually require close proximity to object being manipulated.
 * Left powerless away from modern society.

Personality
Oftentimes, Technopaths are reclusive, and prefer isolation, as opposed to the raucous of the public sight. They need time to themselves to think, tinker, and experiment, and plenty of it. Typically, Technopaths have a hard time understanding the human psyche, due to its various examples that are anything but cut-and-dry circuit board layouts. For this reason, they find it very difficult to deal with most people, unless they are dealing with the like-minded techno-geeks.

Techniques

 * Activation/Deactivation: Users can turn machines on or off at will. Can be used to induce blackouts.
 * Technopathic Perception: Users can read electronic signals, sort of like mind reading for machines. Can be used to "talk" to computers.
 * Technological Manipulation: Users can control a machine's basic functions from a distance, such as turning a car around or changing the channel.

Application

 * Control electronic/digital/cybernetic objects.Powers_micah.jpg
 * Trigger computers/appliances or anything with an attachable cord or inserted batteries.
 * Repair/induce glitches in technology.
 * Boost a machine's capacity or speed.
 * If mixed with Body Part Substitution or Cephalophore, users use control eletronic objects as if they were their own body part.
 * Creating gadgets and attachments.
 * High-Levels can emit EMPs.

Associations

 * May develop Electronic Communication.
 * May be accompanied by technological Matter Melding.
 * Use their technological powers to develop Weapon Manipulation.
 * May develop Cyber Mind.
 * Some may have Bionic Physiology
 * Stems from Electrical Manipulation and Magnetic Manipulation.
