Gremlins are born more of modern folktales than anything, with their first official entrance into the lore appearing during World War I. Malevolent little gremlins were said to tinker with planes, causing them to malfunction and potentially crash. Many such malfunctions were blamed on gremlins (as a joke and, for some, a very real fear), and they entered the modern canon as any kind of faerie-like creature said to disrupt the workings of machines. (Worth noting is that the term may come from the Irish Gaelic, gruaimin, meaning “ill-humored little man.”) Wizened who assume the Gremlin kith are particularly good at damaging items temporarily with the Gremlinizing Touch: by touching a device and spending a Glamour point, the Gremlin negates any equipment bonuses associated with the device for the remainder of the scene. This applies to the damage bonuses associated with any weapon, as well (guns in particular). The character can only do this once a day.
