Ethereal Sonar (Matter 1)

As an dedicated member of the Sons of Ether, Eli knows there is more than just vacuum in between the atoms. By using the Ether as a conductive medium for a pressure wave like water, his equipment can scan through solid objects and display a 3-D picture of the environment. The spectrum of the returning rays can determine the elemental composition of the material with ease.

Vital Force Detector (Life 1)

Scientist of the Electrodyne Engineers were well aware of the difference in nature between a living thing and its component molecules. The Technocracy has abandoned Vitalism, but the Vital Force can be still be detected using the old methods. Ethereal senses show a characteristic interference pattern from the Vital Force, allowing any living organism to be detected. A living organism can be studied further by analyzing its component molecules, with a skilled Scientist being able to rapidly read a genetic code.

Level 1 Psi (Mind 1)

All humans have some inherent psionic potential, and the trained mind of a Scientist unlocks this with mental control and occasional use of stimuli according to phrenological or acupuncture charts. The first level of the powers of the Mind is that of perception. A telepath of this level can see the corona layer of minds, often referred to as the aura. Similarly, a telepath is aware of others interfering with his mind, and can send off interference to block the intruder.

Supercharge Mind (Mind 1)

The Technocracy discards and medicates those with mental disorders such as autism and ADD. Etherite researchers have found that these are actually results of an improperly regulated control cortex. A skilled Scientist can make use of these patterns to safely supercharge their mental abilities to either focus on many thing at once, or one thing to the exclusion of all else.

Mindlinked Controls (Mind 1 + relevant pattern sphere)

As wondrous as a device covered in dials and knobs is, it is often impractical for a Scientist in the field. With proper engineering, a device can be designed to receive detailed commands from a telepathic Scientist, such as "convert lead bullets to silver hollowpoint" or "Set nanites to anti-toxin mode, G/V agent". Note that this allows hostiles with Mind to perform countermagic against the effect. This is vulgar and exceedingly difficult if the Scientist does not have contact with the device.

Immunoregulator Serum (Life 3)

When expecting a disease, or a biological warfare attack from a Union agent, Eli prepares his immune system for attack, overproducing antibodies and linking his internal nanotech to his immune system. He also locks out the endotoxic shock, allergic/histamine, and shock reactions manually.

Satchel of Fun (Matter 3 / Life 3)

Eli takes a vial out of his satchel full of various useful compounds. By repeated practice and use of the Observer Effect, he can select the right agent for the right task.

• CS / OC - Always useful in a busy city, and very effective.
• TiCl4 - Instant smokescreen, also irritating to breathe.
• Mini-Molotov - Combine a strong oxidizer and gasoline you have an instant firebomb. Great for convincing Dracula that he really isn't that thirsty after all.
• Silver Gel - Powdered silver in a gel base. Ideal for the Big Bad Wolf when he attempts to blow your lab down.
• Aqua Regia - A mix of concentrated acids, generally dissolves anything.
