 You have learned how to create technological devices which emulate magical effects, though their stability is questionable. The effects generated by a Weird Science Device (henceforth referred to as a Device) are still considered magical in nature, meaning they may be [[priority:magic:counterspelling|Counterspelled]], and are subject to effects such as [[priority:magic:spells:tier3:dispel_magic|Dispel Magic]], akin to a normally casted spell. Devices may be appended to existing items, such as Crossbows, Implements, a hammer, etc, though you may only make use of the Device as it's base object or as a Device, not both simultaneously.

Devices may be appended to existing items, such as Crossbows, Implements, a hammer, etc, though you may only make use of the Device as it's base object or as a Device, not both simultaneously. To create a Weird Science device, follow these steps:
  
-  - Choose the [[priority:magic:spells|Spells]] you would like to make your Device out of. You may have up to 10 spells in a single Device, and the combined total of the spell's tiers cannot exceed 10. When making a Device, you must possess ranks in your relevant Master Craftsman skill equal to or greater than the Device Tier. You must Spell KNowledge of the Spell via your Initiation Grade, to a **maximum Grade of 10** (meaning that no Spell effect over Tier 5 may be used in a Device). The Caster Level of the Device is equal to your CL or [[priority:prowess|Prowess]], whichever is higher.+  - Choose the [[priority:magic:spells|Spells]] you would like to make your Device out of.

The [[priority:magic#caster_level|Caster Level]] of the Device is equal to your CL or [[priority:prowess|Prowess]], whichever is higher.
   - Calculate the time needed to create the Device. This is 1 hour per Tier of Spell within the Device - you must add all Spell effects together to determine this total. For example, if you wish to make a Device which can create the effects of Grease and Fireball, the total Device Tier is 4 (Tier 1 spell + Tier 3 spell), meaning it takes 4 hours to create.   - Calculate the time needed to create the Device.

 All Devices use a Half Action to activate, regardless of the Casting Time of the Spells that a Device hosts. Alternatively, you may activate multiple Spells at once on a Device as a Full Action. Saving Throws on effects created by a Device always consider your Intelligence to be your Primary Casting Attribute, regardless of whether you possess a [[priority:magic:casting_traditions|Magic Tradition]] or not. A Device must occupy a hand slot, and is considered to be an improvised weapon (unless the Device itself is a weapon!) appropriate to your size. Devices usually weigh no more than 10 pounds each. All Devices use a Half Action to activate, regardless of the Casting Time of the Spells that a Device hosts.

-All Devices possess an internal "battery" of Mana. A Device may store up to 2 times it's Device Tier, meaning that a Device containing Fireball and Haste (a T6 Device) would be capable of storing up to 12 Mana. To charge a Device, its creator must infuse it with Mana over a number of minutes equal to the Mana being added and expend 1 TP or MP per minute of charging. To fully charge the aforementioned Device from 0, it would take 12 minutes and 12 MP or TP. A newly created Device is fully charged. You may withdraw Mana from a Device for other purposes as an Immediate Action, but this is a dangerous process which inflicts 1 point of [[game_systems:health|Wound damage]] per Mana withdrawn to the relevant body part, depending upon where the Device is equipped.+All Devices possess an internal "battery" of Mana.

 Devices may be used by their creator without a check. However, any character attempting to activate a Device created by someone else must succeed at a [[priority:skills:use_magic_device|Use Magic Device]] check at a DC of (25 + the Device's Tier). Failure causes the device to **break down** (see below). Devices may be used by their creator without a check.
