	Tesla technology is a fusion of steampunk and electric technology. The ideal aesthetic is silver or grey metal and blue lights or highlights and steam tubes/wires to contrast with the brass/clockwork look of Analytical Technology. They draw power from “Tesla Towers” to produce Devices with powerful but generally straightforward effects. These devices are finicky and often require extensive maintenance to keep them functioning. Normally, a party of characters can bring one Device between them, plus one for each character with the Create Device [[Skills\|skill]]. Whether a party member is carrying a Tesla device is easily noticeable over more than a few minutes due to their high power signatures, though it won't be obvious what it does.

			Devices that are found on linears can be picked up and used that event.

	To create a Device, take '''two or more Components''' to the Refs and explain what you are making. They will offer you a potential result - you can take this result, or keep the resources but suffer a minor experimental setback (generally accompanied by a minor roleplaying effect, with a small chance of a wound). Sometimes the result may be “that can’t be done with a Device” but in that case you will get the resources back with no issues.		To create a Device, take '''two or more Components''' to the Refs and explain what you are making. This can usually only be done in an interactive, and will very rarely be available on linears.

Sometimes the result may be “that can’t be done with a Device” but in that case you will get the resources back with no issues.

	Using more components tends to make more powerful devices, but you can’t just add more of the same ones in. Each component added must be used in a specific and different way towards the end goal of the Device.
