 Spectrum Inhibitors are a type of [[Exotic Reagents|Exotic Reagent]] - an [[Exotic Substances|Exotic Substance]] related to [[Corporeal Science]]. A physrep of a sample of some kind of powder can be used to represent measures of this substance, smaller samples can represent one or two measures, while larger physrep samples can hold more. Please don't use powders that are dangerous or messy - coloured fine sugar is probably the best. Spectrum Inhibitors are a type of [[Exotic Reagents|Exotic Reagent]] - an [[Exotic Substances|Exotic Substance]] related to [[Corporeal Science]].

-A measure of Spectrum Inhibitor can be applied to any single measure of an injectable [[Medicaments|Medicament]]. Applying a measure of this substance will reduce the medicament's effects, decreasing its benefit (or penalty). As a minimum, the Spectrum Inhibitors halves all numerical values on the Medicament, __**except any that refer to durations or time**__. Any fractions are rounded down. Some Conditions will specifically note what will happen when they are treated with a Spectrum Inhibitor-doped substance.+A measure of Spectrum Inhibitor can be applied to any single measure of [[Medicaments|Medicament Ampoule]]. Applying a measure of this substance will empower the medicament's effects, decreasing its benefit (or penalty). As a minimum, the Spectrum Inhibitor halves all numerical values on the Medicament (rounding fractions up), __**except any that refer to durations or time**__. Some Conditions will specifically note what will happen when they are treated with a Spectrum Inhibitor-doped substance, which may be entirely different. The values that Spectrum Inhibitor halves are highlighted in yellow on the Ampoule's lammie. Some usage Modes may not have yellow-highlighted values, in which case the Spectrum Inhibitor will have no additional effect. Halving of non-numerical values (MINOR > MAJOR > EXTREME > TOTAL) instead steps one step back.
  
 Examples of operation: Examples of operation:
-  * Wound Sealant heals 1 lost hit after 1 minute of restWith Spectrum Inhibitorheals 0 lost hits, and has no effect+  * Med-Serum (GREEN) - After 10s restores 1 lost Body Hit(No additional effect) 
-  * Active coagulant Increases your Death Count by 100 for 1 day. With Spectrum Inhibitor, increases your Death Count by 50 for 1 day +  * Med-Serum (AMBER) - After 1min Restrestores half of your lost Body Hits on 1 Locations (instead of all lost hits)
-  * Cellular Ablative - Grants +1 Locational Body Hit for 2 hours. With Spectrum Inhibitor, grants 0 Locational Body Hits, and has no effect+  * Synthetic Platelets (RESIST) Your Death Count increases by +100s for 1hr instead of +200s. 
-  * Muscle Stims Grants 2 uses of a melee weapon call over the rest of the day. With Spectrum Inhibitor, grants 1 use.+  * Radiation Nanosponges (RESIST) - Grants MINOR RADIATION Protection for 1hr instead of MAJOR
 +  * Nano-Purgatives (RED) - Duration 15min. Cannot use skills/abilities. Lose half of your Body Hits. RP-Effect: Minor Pain & Nausea. The Inhibitor reduces the loss of body hits and severity of the Roleplay Effect symptoms.
  
-Spectrum Inhibitor may have other effects when applied to certain substances that don't use numerical values on their effect lammies - Radiation nanosponges might purge less radiationetc. These effects are difficult to predict however - if you have taken Medicament doped with Spectrum Inhibitor and it doesnt have any numerical effects, then you can decide if the Spectrum Inhibitor has no effect, or alternatively you can approach Refwho may decide that it has an additional effect (but may not). Spectrum Inhibitors are delicate and complex mixtures of compounds that are impossible to manufacture completely consistently.+As with all [[Exotic Substances]], a character with at least 1 rank in the relevant speciality ([[professional skills#Corporeal Science]] in this case) can spend 1 minute of appropriate roleplaying to apply 1 measure of Spectrum Inhibitor to [[Medicaments|Medicament Ampoule]]. After this roleplayingthey should unpeel the sticker that represents this substance, and stick it to the ampoule in the rectangle containing the Medicament's name and symbol (near the top of the lammie). The Spectrum Inhibitor then applies to all doses remaining in the Ampoule - adding any more doses will remove the Spectrum Inhibitor sticker even if there are doses remaining.
