	:Inspired by Westin's precise and deadly sniping, Eli developed an extremely deadly modification for his firearms. The bullet is replaced with a visually identical packet of nanites that has horrendous effects on the target. The jacket of the bullet forms a continuously self-sharpening cutting edge that rends all non-living material or armor like tissue paper. Upon striking flesh, the jacket dissolves, activating the payload of nanites that destroy cells on contact, and can replicate rapidly. A single shot with a 9mm can do the damage of a big game hunting rifle. This can be amplified further by applying destructive quintal resonance to the bullet.		:Inspired by Westin's precise and deadly sniping, Eli developed an extremely deadly modification for his firearms.

			== Spheres at 1 ==
			All spheres should be useful at one

			;Correspondence
			This skill basically gives you an automap and compass already.

			;Entropy
			Already pretty solid, with several versatile uses

			;Forces
			*Omnivision - See all elements of the spectrum. A mage can see electric current in wires, heat off objects and people, invisible laser beams, anything that uses forces.
			*Dog's Ears - A mage can hear in all elements of the sound spectrum. Ultrasound is plain to a mage using forces.
			*Force Resistance - Tasers can hardly stun you and flashbangs are much less effective, while it safe to look at a laser or the sun. Magic usually powers right through this resistance
			*Force Orientation - You can orient yourself according to Earth's gravity and electromagnetic field. This means you can tell magnetic north and which way is down no matter how disorienting the conditions may be. With some practice, you can precisely follow a radio beacon.
			Accelerometer - A mage can precisely determine her speed or the force she is applying. With practice, this can reduce the difficulty of precise actions such as surgery, lockpicking, or

			;Life
			*Basic Life Enhancement - Gives you basic merits that involve solely biological gifts.
			**Ambidexterity
			**Catlike Balance
			**Double-Jointed
			*Proprioception - This is a life scan directed inward. A mage using this skill is aware of the precise locations of all of her body parts, so she can better perform complicated athletic / martial arts maneuvers. This is a basic difficulty reduction for coordinated movements.

			;Matter
			*Matter Identification - Extremely powerful. Can detect poison in a drink, guns/bombs under clothing, hidden dead bodies, or even help select a vehicle to take.
			*Wallhack - Seeing through objects is very useful - it can potentially make repairs trivial, detect traps or ambushes, and make a mockery of concealment.
			*Bat's Sense - Using matter sense can give a sense of the surroundings in pitch blackness.
			*Basic Orientation - Matter sense can aid in regaining the sense of up and down by by locating the sides with the most and least matter.

			;Mind
			Very useful - nearly any mental merit can be duplicated with this skill.

			;Prime
			Very impressive already.

			;Spirit
			Sensing Auras is an incredibly powerful ability that lets you see just what the being across from you actually is. It is much harder to fake than an appearance.

			;Time
			*Precise Timing - The Mage knows the exact time a set of actions will take. Practicing with time sense active will give a mage a reliable sense of the time an action takes to perform. If the mage is keeping up an internal clock, any action she has practiced while maintaining an internal clock become becomes a known quantity. Any action with a known timespan is reduced in difficulty in any situation where timing is an issue - disarming a ticking bomb or fighting a moving target. This can stack with other difficulty modifiers.
			*Sense Frequency - When the mage encounters a repeating phenomenon, she can detect the frequency at which it occurs. This means a mage could precisely identify the pitch of a musical note, or when a time-locked safe will next be able to open. With other spheres, this becomes even more powerful - forces can allow a techno-mage to precisely identify a radio signal's frequency.
			*Internal Clock - this particular skill does not require foci in the traditional sense - a trained mage can use her body as a clock.

			;Create Superbug (Life 3 / Mind 2)
			::With the proper application of genetic engineering, a lower lifeform can be designed to accept a psionic impression from a Scientist. This usually results in a results in an somewhat capable agent at a given task, with a compulsion to fulfill their goal and superior intelligence. This requires a reasonably sized organism to hold the enhanced memories, but can yield surprising results.

			;Molecular Psionics (Matter 3 / Mind 2)
			Psychic fields are well known to produce traces on inorganic materials. There has been a regularly updated series of articles in ''Paradigma'' on the use of specific alteration of the molecular structure of an object to make it a canvas for mental powers to act on. Then, the psionic impression is transferred with a massive bolt of electricity. The scientist must genuinely possess the feeling he will transmit for this to be effective.
