"The machines are coming, and along with them comes the face of death. But it is not the machines you must fear, it is the men who had controlled them."
― The Enigma TNG (Mecha Gun)
"Plug in, online, the datastream linking our minds. Circuits, entwined, we'll dream of Neo-Tokyo tonight!"
― Scandroid (Neo Tokyo)

Also Called[]

  • Electromechanical/Electronic/Machine/Technological Manipulation
  • Cyberkinesis/Mechanokinesis/Telemechanics
  • Tech/Technological/Technology Control
  • Technokinesis
  • Techno-Telekinesis
  • Technomancy

Capabilities[]

Users can create and manipulate technology, the sum of techniques, skills, methods, and processes used in the production of goods or services or in the accomplishment of objectives. However, most users only can exert control over technological constructs, such as computers, robots, hardware, and other devices that can be termed as "technology", in any way. Manifested as a special form of electrical/telekinetic manipulation, a special form of "morphing" which allows physical interaction with machines, or even a psychic ability that allows mental interface with computer data.

Most users can control the flow of intricate machinery and assemble or disengage their programming at will and operate most technology at distance. A variation of Electricity Manipulation, they control specific electrons and instructs them which items to engage or disengage and may be able to use the electric impulses to gently control smaller metal parts.

Unlike technopathy which is mainly the ability to read, receive, transmit and interface with technological information, as well as communicate and manipulate technology psychically; while technology manipulators, also known as "Technokinetics" are strictly centered around the kinetic manipulation of technology itself. Many stronger technopaths have been known to also possess a level of technokinesis as well as a natural extension of their powers.
