STRENGTHS
- Magnetism - When coating a surface, will solidify and begin to magnetize, pulling metallic objects towards it. The strength of this magnetic effect is directly proportionate to the quantities projected.
- Plaster Caster - The substance the Magnocaster projects solidifies upon contact with a surface and has roughly the hardness of plaster. During use against agile foes, applying sufficient quantities to the target’s method of locomotion can slow them down.
- Interference - Large amounts can interfere with and weaken some personal shield generators and can impair the functionality of unprotected cybernetics or devices.
WEAKNESSES
- Non-Lethal - The substance itself is only mildly poisonous, causing nausea or headaches after prolonged exposure to exposed skin, but cannot seriously harm a living being unless abused, such as when used to block a pathway of air intake or when used against species with highly sensitive respiratory systems. Czerka Arms cautions against any applications in such scenarios.
- Chaos Caster - Due to the magnetic nature of the substance in its solid state, any and all metallic substances within its vicinity are affected to varying degrees. The chaos that ensues can prove dangerous to the user themselves, especially in conjunction with any unshielded cybernetics or skin piercings of aesthetic purpose. Czerka Arms cautions any user to remove all unshielded metallic objects from one’s person before use.
DESCRIPTION
The Bastet Miniature Magnocaster™ sprays a liquid that is highly adhesive and, when it comes into contact with a surface, will oxidize into a highly magnetic solid. The covered area will begin drawing most any metallic substances toward it moments after initial coating, its pull intensifying in proportion to the amount coating a surface.
The solidified substance is fairly dense and stiff. In large quantities it will add considerable weight and rigidity to any surface it adheres to, comparable to carbonite, though not nearly as effective.
Potential users are warned against the use of the Bastet Miniature Magnocaster™ in proximity to valuable information storage disks, credit chips, life-sustaining unprotected cybernetics, essential environmental shields, and personal appearance-enhancing piercings.
Czerka Arms is not liable for any injuries or damages caused or sustained by the use of the Bastet Miniature Magnocaster™.
Czerka Arms guarantees that any and all hunters who make use of the Bastet Miniature Magnocaster™ will find a 50% increase in their personal lethality and bounty turnover.
