Capabilities

The user can gain powers by hosting mechanical/technological beings in one's body. These can include nanites, advanced weaponry that is grafted to a part of the body, or even entire technological entities (automatons, robots, etc.) inside of the host.

Depending on how advanced the technology is, the host can acquire a number of unique capabilities from generating powerful, possibly futuristic/alien weapons from one's body, to accessing and manipulating technology and data, and even communicating with machinery/computers. As with other forms of Symbiosis, it can come with a price.
