A character can use his/her scientific knowledge to capture and control electricity. To do this, he/she must make a dice roll using his/her Science (including electricity specialism) + IQ.
The difficulty depends on what the character is seeking to achieve with the electricity. The referee should use his/her discretion, but the following examples may help:
Task | Difficulty |
Build a lightning conductor to attract or deflect lightning | 5 |
Capture electricity from lightning to use | 7 |
Create a voltaic cell (battery) that generates a small current | 6 |
Use electricity to provide heat | 8 |
Store captured electricity into a battery for later use | 8 |
Use charge in a battery to generate a stunning charge | 10 |
Use charge in a battery to reanimate a person whose heart has stopped | 12 |
Use charge in a battery to produce light (artificial lighting through light bulbs) | 15 |
Working with electricity can be dangerous. If a character fails a dice roll, he/she may be injured by the electrical forces used.
