The mage creates a cursed item that will cause electrical components to short out, malfunction and otherwise stop working in the owner’s presence. Computers, automobiles, elevators, heaters, hair dryers and cell phones comprise just part of the list of rebellious devices. Malfunctions range in seriousness from merely inconvenient to life-threatening.

The mage must add five to the target number per point of Mana spent.

Whenever the item’s owner is in proximity to a functioning electronic device, and there is some chance that its malfunction might harm him, or seriously hamper his pursuit of his current goals, the Storyteller rolls a die pool equal to the Mana spent on this spell during item creation. On a success, the device malfunctions. On an exceptional success, the device’s malfunction threatens the owner’s life. (Bystanders may suffer collateral damage.) A one-die bonus accrues if the item owner is acting against the interests of the order the creating mage belonged to at the time of the item’s enchantment.
