| The more you modify a device from its basic version, the more temperamental and expensive it becomes. Cramming additional tech into a device can vastly expand its capabilities, but maintaining those additions is expensive. Adding even more modifications means having to miniaturise things or create complex workarounds so that the device works with its new additions, and the price rapidly mounts up. Most devices can accommodate about seven or eight modifications before the cost starts to become truly astronomical, but dedicated Engineers can in theory go much further for wealthy patrons who are willing to pay for a truly extraordinary device. | The more you modify a device from its basic version, the more temperamental and expensive it becomes.

| * It is sold to a wealthy Dominion dealer, who has a Priest make it into a Talisman. It now costs 109 EC to maintain, and 546 to Mod again. This legendary weapon can hold up to 14 Charges, is able to fire for DISRUPT, LETHAL or STRIKEDOWN, and can resist SUNDER calls, as well as acting as a spiritual bulwark for its Dominion owner.
