TDC (Tentacle Deployment Cannister) for Weird Scientist

Tentacle Deployment Canister

The TDC appears to be a clunky metal can, just the right size to fit awkwardly in one hand or awkwardly in two. It has a certain number of gauges and small mechanisms attached to it. When triggered, a simple spring-loaded mechanism launches a dart and wire towards the target. Unbeknownst to the Weird Scientist, the wire is actually guided by the user's mental force. On a miss, the wire retracts the dart automatically. Should it connect, however, it triggers the canister's latch. An improbable mass of tentacles slithers rapidly out of the canister, along the wire, and gloms onto the target, constraining their movement. The canister can then be discarded.

Attack is Spellcasting Step, as Bind Spell, or defaulting to Perception. Effect: Will+4 of Weird Scientist.
Type: Single use, Novice.
Cost to make: £3. Also requires a successful Fishing (7) test to gather materials. The design of the canister requires Clockwork, but then can be replicated through mechanics.

I made this with the crafting rules I wrote up. Originally it was going to be ammo in a sort of gun, but then I realized that it would need to be fired first using firearms and then the spellcasting test would need to be made because the spellcasting test is sort of the effect test for the bind spell?

I'll post more if people think these are interesting.

I like it. It does however need a McFly touch for the name

At the risk of being doubly negative, I don’t disagree!

You could make it a Spellcasting Test using the user's Perception and the Spellcasting Rank of the WS who built it, and then a Willforce Test again using the user's WIL and the WS's Skill Rank. That would be more in keeping with deploying a Bind spell from a tactical device.

So the McFly name for this is Kra-can. To activate you must say "Release the Kra-can!"

Andrew that sounds like a pretty decent general rule for spell imprint items, and I'm going to stick it in the document.

Lexi, I like it! although for the players that don't visit the forums yet, I think the GMC with it is going to refer to it as the TDC because it is bland. As far as they know, she's a run of the mill scientist. Then she'll release this nightmare of tentacles and it'll be great

Using the user's perception and the Spellcasting Rank of the WS who created it, you might turn it into a Spellcasting Testcapybara clicker

What do you think an immature enjoyment would be like? Escorts in Paharganj
Mature intercourse takes place when you indulge in it with a compassionate housewife while immature intercourse is probably the opposite of it.

The Tentacle Deployment Canister is a creative and intriguing invention, especially with the integration of Weird Science and the mental force guidance.
