Mad Science! (Genius: The Transgression)

Cost: 20 SP

In the tumultuous world of genius, where inspiration crackles like lightning and ideas collide with the force of thunder, you have emerged above mere geniuses—a master of Mad Science! Harnessing the raw essence of Inspiration, you possess the power to create wonders that defy conventional understanding. As a genius, your mind dances on the edge of brilliance and madness, embracing a unique aesthetic that guides your creations.

Within the realm of Mad Science, you choose a method of building technology—a fantastic avenue like post-atomic cyberpunk or dieselpunk. With this choice, you're able to effortlessly and seamlessly craft Wonders embodying the chosen specialty becomes second nature. Post-atomic designs exude ruggedness and boast potent energy weapons. Cyberpunk innovations showcase exceptional software and technology compression. Dieselpunk marvels are renowned for their unrivaled durability and toughness, surpassing most other technologies.

Through Mad Science, you can even produce manic artifice—unique, non-repeatable technology that adheres to internally consistent principles. These wonders wreak havoc when their inner workings are exposed to those who have never experienced Inspiration or supernatural forces, often resulting in explosive failures. Recreating these extraordinary creations proves nigh-impossible without access to the precise methods and blueprints used for the originals.

However, beware, as your Inspiration—the very core of your genius—grows stronger, you can become increasingly detached from mundane concerns, struggling to maintain your connection to the mortal world, as people appear as systems to be explored rather than individuals with their own lives.
