+Electricity is an element with strong connotations in both scientific and mystical settings, albeit not exactly the same ones in both. It's also a fairly versatile one that gives solid options for offense, defense and control; the Battery ability in particular gives an accessible healing option to creatures with the Synthetic weakness, making the archetype a popular pick for robots.

Successfully recovering from the Charged condition prevents damage from this ability. Any given subject can be damaged a maximum of once via Feedback, regardless of how many other charged targets are nearby. |

+^{{ra>fireball-sword?48|Offense}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Unerring Attraction:** Your charged weapons are drawn automatically toward charged targets. You ignore failure chances from concealment and reduce size-based failure chances by 6 when attacking any subject that currently has the Charged condition. |

You can do this an unlimited number of times per turn so long as your luck holds. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Non-Integrated Only:** The effects of Relay do not apply when you inflict the Charged condition with a weapon attack whose trigger die is 10+. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Staked Effort:** You need to have at least one action remaining and commit to possibly using it. You cannot attempt to use Relay to get free actions after you've already used all your actions during a turn. |

+^{{ra>fireball-sword?48|Offense}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Walk n' Shock:** Careless walking often leads to completing a circuit. If a target you've inflicted the Charged condition to makes a movement action of any kind (walk, sprint, jump, etc) then they lose 1 Energy afterwards on a trigger die roll of 1-8 instead of 1-4. \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Tricky Defusal:** Targets you've inflicted the Charged condition to must roll a trigger die after taking recovery actions just like they would for any other action. |
