Essence ofForge+ (Updated)

In continuing the creatively and morally bankrupt trend of stealing from [Neondagger]…

• Gain a peak human intellect and physical capabilities capable of rivalling olympic champions in any feat of physical exertion but not skill.

• This Essence grants you the same ability that Forge, the mutant from Marvel, would gain from his X-Gene: Omni-Fabrication!

• Put simply, you can intuitively understand, design and invent any technology or system that you can imagine as long as it's possible within your current context, not requiring the usual incomprehensibly vast intellect or even the slightest education in sciences or engineering to create incredible technology like Rick Sanchez, Reed Richards or Lex Luthor to name a few.

• The refinement and sophistication of the designs created are dependent on the availability of quality resources and equipment to work with: the higher that you have of either (or ideally both) the more efficient, streamlined and compact the end result will be. You can make do by jury-rigging resources and equipment to fit your needs and create a serviceable, if ugly, bulky & inefficient result, but having top quality precision tools and the best possible materials to work with will let you intuitively design and build almost impossibly compact, efficient and streamlined technologies and systems.

• Or if put simply, you can make the absolute best of all materials and equipment you have to make the best possible end results given your circumstances.

• One of Forge's lesser known abilities is the minor psychic capability to remotely interface with technologies that are able to form wireless connections, granting you two abilities as a result of this: Understanding & Control.

• Understanding: by interfacing with a technology or machine you'll gain the blueprints and the schematics of that machine downloaded into your head, as well as a full understanding of the scientific, engineering and design principles that went into its creation and operation. This also includes all of the functions and capabilities of what you interface with, so you'll know what it can do even if you've never seen it in action or have never heard of it before.

• Control: by interfacing with a technology or machine you will gain the highest level of authority and privileges over that device, capable of remotely manipulating it to do anything within its potential to carry out, such as making a call from your phone, messing with the targeting parameters of weapons, remotely surveying someone's health by accessing their vitals monitors in the hospital, rewriting the priorities of an AI or anything else along a similar line.

• This ability requires either line of sight, knowledge of your target's general location or for the target to be a part of a system that you control or infiltrate.

• Your creations are black-boxed, preventing any entity from analyzing your technologies to understand how they work and replicating them. This won't stop anyone from organically innovating the same technology, just stopping anyone from directly copying your works. For example: if you go to My Hero Academia and develop Quirk Suppression Handcuffs (purely fanon creation) then that might inspire some other genius in the setting in just the right way to create something that's similar or identical, and since it wasn't an attempt to copy your works the black-box protections won't apply as there was nothing to protect against.

• This protection can be toggled on/off as needed but is active by default.

• Hypocritically, breaking down and reverse engineering the technologies and systems of others is almost as intuitive as your ability to invent, the more intact and abundant the samples the faster and easier it will be. Yes you can make something and then break it down to teach yourself scientific and engineering principles from the things that you create. It should be noted that you will not know the names of the principles and laws you learn of as they're subjective to whoever is speaking of them, so you could learn everything that there is to know about thermodynamics but not know that name unless you tried to explain your learned principles to an English speaking professor that recognized the principles that you were describing to them.

• When all is said and done, you can design and invent anything that could potentially exist and function as long as you are able to imagine it and have the required resources necessary to actually assemble what you're imagining.
