Convey a message on each activation. Mental links communicate meaning; other methods require a shared language or code. Specific contact, sleep, interface, and sensory requirements override the maximum range. Use an accessible device's actual interface; no invented knowledge or automatic credential bypass. The device must be accessible and compatible, not sentient or unwilling.
Ends: duration expiry, node removal, Aspect replacement, and any specific ending condition in the effect. Permanent mundane results persist.
Send up to 5 words through a visible accessible nonsentient device's existing interface within 60 feet. It must have a compatible input/output path. No invented data, credential bypass, control of a sentient machine or reading offline inaccessible storage.
Ends: duration expiry, node removal, Aspect replacement, and any specific ending condition in the effect. Permanent mundane results persist.

Divert harm from a contacted mechanism. When you would take damage from a mechanical device you are touching, after damage is rolled but before applying it, use your ordinary reaction and 1 Charge to reduce it by 1d4+3, minimum 1, never below 0. Apply before resistance/vulnerability; only one Aspect reduction per event.
Ends: Aspect replacement or dormancy ends access.
