Lockpicking Lawyer 2: Electric Boogaloo What's that? A locked door? Cute, you think that'll hold me.
User inserts a knife into the lock of the door, and turns the lock, similar to an improvised lockpick.
Lerinyth looks around briefly, before sticking a knife against the side of the door, and fidgeting around the door for a moment before it opens, and Lerinyth breaths a sigh of relief.
Spend one minute to activate. Select a door, lock, or locked target within 20 feet. Cannot be used on Alien technology. You must actively and obviously use Knife to activate this Effect.
You may lock, unlock, and/or open your target.
This Gift's level is capped at 2 Gifts and cannot be increased further.
- Any door or restraint that is fastened or shut with a mechanism may be considered locked, at the GM's discretion. Can be used on control panels or other electronic locks, but not computer security systems.
- If you operate a locking mechanism through this Effect which has some other secondary effect (such as the ignition on a car causing the car to start) you may cause that effect as well.
- You can target yourself if you qualify as a valid target by the other requirements.

Laz's nanites use the NFC components within a security card as a transmission antenna, Transmitting a signal that overrides the control of electronic locks he chooses within the vicinity. When available Laz will achieve this by scanning the card on the appropriate reader, however for electronic locks without one (such as power locks on a car door or being on the wrong side of a one way exit door) he need only hold the card up toward the lock in question and focus.
Spend an Action. Select a Non-Alien electronically controlled lock within 20 feet. You must actively and obviously use a security card to activate this Effect.
You may lock, unlock, and/or open your target.
- Operating some locking mechanisms through this Effect may have a secondary effect, such as a turn-key ignition on an older or cheaper car causing it to start or stop. Note that the locking mechanism itself must satisfy the standard targeting requirements (including line of sight), not just the vehicle.
- Any mechanism that requires a key, keycard, key fob, or combination may be considered locked, at the GM's discretion. This Effect may be used on doors and containers secured with control panels or other electronic locks, but not computer security systems at large.

With Eliza's help, Laz can manipulate the electrical fields immediately around him to manipulate locks with any electronic control. Where this used to be achieved by manipulating an external device, subtle (and not so subtle) shifts in how his nanotech interacts with the world have enabled him to eliminated that dependency, albeit at the cost of diminished range. It's still not a terrible idea to wave his card over a reader to help add a sense of normalcy to the event, when possible. very savvy observers might notice a static spark between him and the reader or door involved, though most might just think he had scuffed his feet on some carpet.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Select a Non-Alien electronically controlled lock within arm's reach.
You may lock, unlock, and/or open your target.
This Effect is not obvious, and the only sign you are using an Effect is static discharge when touching the reader or door. If someone suspects that an Effect was used, they must roll Perception + Alertness, Difficulty 8 to pick up on your Tell.

It's tough work getting a fairy to stay in one place. They've gotta agree to it.
