Powers Via Object

The power in which one can obtain supernatural powers through objects.

Also Called

 * Artifact Magic


 * Object Magic

Capabilities
The power continues as long as the user touches the object, but can last temporarily if the user loses touch. Can stack powers.

Several (especially in American comics or Japanese cartoons or manga) have powers via technological armor, such as Iron Man and the War Machine. Or have powers coming from something technological and have no powers outside of that object, such as Doctor Octopus's tentacles or Shocker's gauntlets.

Trivia

 * An example of a character that loses their powers instantly when their sacred objects are removed is Wonder Woman. During an episode her Golden Belt of Strength was removed and instantly she had the strength of her natural body mass.
 * Some characters gain permanent powers based on a single interaction with a powerful object or artifact. One example of this is Captain America's permanent long-life, super-strength, and endurance based on his one-time use of the Super-Soldier Serum, or the Hulk's permanent strength and endurance based on his exposure to gamma radiation.

Limits

 * If the object is taken away, or destroyed, the use will lose their power.
 * There is telling how a powerful object will fare if pinned against another.
 * May no function if dealt with possible interference.
