Shimmerblades are made of exotic material unstable on the threshold of material existence. The blade of the weapon flickers in and out of existence in a blurring, shimmering motion very disturbing to the eye. It leaves behind a faint blue/red glow, electric smell and makes Blight detectors go crazy without incurring actual Blight at all. Weapons made of this material cut through anything and everything, making them hideously dangerous.Unfortunately they are useless in defence, as the blade might blink immaterial midblock. In practice, weapon skill grants no DP at all while wielding a Shimmerblade. Defending against them is likewise difficult as the slightest scratch can sever limbs, granting -1D to all attacks. Shimmerblades grant a further -1D for any brute force Intrusion checks or other efforts where their cutting power is an asset.
Like most ancient Techmancery, Shimmerblades contain an identification system. Unless their Reliability check fails, they cause no damage whatsoever against a Techmancer with a functioning Conduit. Instead of cutting the Techmancer the weapon will blink into a mere shadow, simply passing through harmlessly.

Hunter/killer is a sliver of greenish-gray metal with extremely sharp points at both ends. It is a semi-intelligent, reusable projectile with multiple uses. Hunter/killer is activated by throwing it towards the intended target. If Reliability fails, it functions as an ordinary javelin. Otherwise the sliver activates, homing towards the target and seeking weak points in its anatomy. In practice, the Hunter/killer attacks the target as if in melee with TN 21 untill the target stops moving completely. Once the target is completely still for one round, the hunter/killer drops on the ground, inert. For actively destroying the weapon apply sundering rules.
In general, hunter/killers do not attack Techmancers with an active Conduit. Instead they simply revert to inert state immediately.

Swarmguns are carbine-sized weapons firing long, thin but surprisingly heavy bullets. The bullets are simply carriers for an infernal swarm inside, designed to deliver terrifying death at a distance. Few examples of the said weapons remain in the world.
If a target is hit by a swarmgun, he takes the usual damage as listed above. In addition, the bullet shatters, releasing the swarm within. The tiny devils then start to devour the victim from within. This effect is similar to that of a Deathswarm whip and follows the same rules. (Page XX) If the shot is a miss by three, the bullet passes close enough to the target to detect his body heat. In this case, the bullet explodes in a stream of swarmers. Thus, the target is covered with a swarm causing an effect as per Deathswarm whip, but suffers no initial gunshot damage.
If there are multiple targets within close proximity, such swarm spray can affect all of them. A shooter may try to do this in purpose, reversing the effect and scoring a direct hit with a miss by three instead. Ordinary swarm ammo costs 60 omns per bullet.
Paralyzing swarm is a modified payload that, instead of disassembling the victim, spreads to temporarily disable his nervous system. Direct hit causes 4D damage, while the swarm effect requires a 4D Vigor check every round. Duration is as with Deathswarm whip. If the check fails,the victim is paralyzed but conscious for the swarm duration. For armor-piercing purposes, the swarm does 4D damage per round, but inflicts no real harm to the target. These non-lethal bullets cost 80 omns per projectile.
Healing swarm is a toned down version of the Miracle Injection intended for battlefield first aid. These bullets can never score a direct hit; they automatically explode into a swarm spray when close to applicable target. Once the swarm gets into contact with skin, it stabilizes the target, staunching all bleeding. The swarm penetrates armor like a paralyzing swarm and costs 80 omns per bullet.
Swarms fired by swarmguns contain an identification system responding to Techmancer Conduits. As a result, harmful swarm effects do not activate against Techmancers with functioning Conduits. Roll a separate Reliability for each Techmancer possibly targeted; if it fails, the safety procedure fails and the Techmancer is hit as usual. This safety procedure does not affect the initial bullet impact, only the swarm effects.

Demon cage is a roughly skeletal frame worn over regular clothing, with a hissing and churning Omnium reactor at the back. The frame is very tough, but as it doesn't cover the wearer completely, it grants only a poor PV. When worn, demon cage grants the user inhuman strength, granting +10 Vigor regarding strenous tasks and carrying capacity but no increases to Wound Levels. It as well bestows -1D to all Athletics checks due to assisted movement and reduced fatigue when moving. Demon cage consumes pure Omnium as fuel, requiring Omnium worth 30 omns inside the reactor. For every hour of use, make a Reliability check to see if it has run out of fuel. The wearer must further make a 3D Blight check for every two hours spent while wearing the frame. Every two extra hours add +1D to the check, capping at 6D. Unarmed attacks do 5D damage while wearing the demon cage.
Modification: Weapon rigging Cost: +500
Some simple modifications can turn demon cage into a heavy weapons platform. This allows the wearer to use heavy weapons one-handed and without bracing.
Modification: Gloomwork Cost: +650
Demon cage has been modified to be worn over bulky Gloomsuits and fitted with maneuvering thrusters.

Scavenger suit abstracts the great variety of protective gear made and used by Techdabblers and scavengers. Most of them are not bought, but made by the user. A common set up would be a hardened leather armor entwined with Gloomsuit parts and Techmantic armor plates. Every available surface is covered with pockets, pouches and equipment webbing for carrying necessary tools. The suit is commonly combined with a Gloom mask for environmental protection. If combined with a functioning mask, the suit provides some protection from Blight, granting -1D to all Blight checks. (Where a proper Gloomsuit would remove the need for such checks entirely.)

Shimmersuit is an overall made of exotic material unstable on the threshold of material existence. It flickers in and out of existence in a blurring motion, while the material qualities change seemingly at random. While not obvious to a naked eye, there is a pattern to the changes - the suit keeps optimizing itself to best respond to the surroundings. This allows it to grant great protection without any bulk. The suit likewise protects against fire, chemicals and Gloom effects for up to five minutes of constant exposure. Normal enviromental effects - such as rain, cold or heat - are completely negated. Terrain effects on physical checks are likewise ignored. Attackers find it hard to see (or otherwise sense) the wearer accurately, bestowing +1D on all attack rolls. While the Shimmersuit blurs and disguises the wearer, it doesn't make his presence harder to detect. Thus the suit grants no bonus to Stealth.
Techmancers with a functioning Conduit can see through the Shimmersuit, negating the attack penalty and possibly identifying the wearer.

Survival Skin is a skintight, slimy fabric covered with mechanical parts on the outside. It must be worn on a naked body to function. When worn, the suit slides into tight contacts and various tendrils, pipes and wires burrow into the flesh. Once worn, it can only be removed surgically or after the skin expires on its own. Survival Skin functions for ten days or more. After the tenth day, a Reliability roll is required every evening, with -1 to Reliability per day. Once the Reliability roll fails, the suit breaks down. It then automatically detaches and can be removed, though leaving behind bruises and scratches sufficient to cause a Light Wound.
When the Survival Skin is active, it protects the wearer from all adverse enviromental effects. This includes all extreme enviroments (such as the atmosphere of Denkhatar or underwater) save naked Gloom. Protection in the Gloom is limited, requiring a Reliability check for every minute of exposure as if after ten days of usage. When the suit is working correctly, it even feeds and hydrates the user, removing the need for food and drink. Removing the Survival Skin before its natural expiration requires a 5D Fleshcraft check. If the check fails, the suit is still removed, but inflicts a Serious Wound.

Fleshknitter is a complicated chemi-mechanical device the size of a large purse. It must be worn against bare skin and is usually strapped on thigh, back or arm. When the wearer is harmed with a wound inflicting at least a Serious Wound, the fleshknitter activates, injecting various agents into his bloodstream. This immediately closes the wound, preventing any bleeding. Fleshknitters have five charges; each charge costs 20 omns to fill.

Hellfire shield is a small device commonly attached on belt, shoulder or helmet. When activated, the device protects the user by vaporizing projectiles and even blasting away melee attackers. In practice, hellfire shield shoots flashes of blue-greenish energy towards projectiles shot towards the user. These blasts automatically negate up to three projectile attacks per combat turn. Roll Reliability for each intercept; if the roll fails, the intercept misses.
Should the wearer be attacked in melee while the device is active, it shoots a reactive blast inflicting 6D explosive, armor-negating damage. It can react to up to one attacker per turn. If the shield has intercepted any projectiles, it can't shoot at attackers. Roll Reliability for each melee intercept; if the roll fails, the device fails to react to the attack. Note that, when active, the shield can interpret any sudden movement towards the wearer as an attack.
Hellfire shield uses a miniature Omnium reactor to power the protection. Every shot fired consumes 50 omns worth pure Omnium, while the reactor can contain a maximum of 500 omns worth Omnium (ten shots). Turning the shield on and off takes one action. It is possible to wear multiple shields at the same time, though if all are active, they might react to the same threats.

This small golden tablet becomes a builder swarm when placed on the ground and broken. The swarm builds a small, dome-shaped shelter from the nearby materials in 15 minutes. Clay is turned into bricks, wood into logs etc. (A truly disturbed individual could use corpses to build a gruesome shelter.) Witnessing the instant construction inflicts a 5D Techmancery check.
The shelter, once complete, can comfortably house three people or up to six in cramped conditions. It contains an air conditioning unit that remains operational for at least 48 hours. After the 48 hours is up, check reliability every 12 hours. When the check fails, the unit breaks down. As long as the unit is active, it purifies the air inside and distills enough water for two people if air humidity is available.

Painspike is a fiendish device used for controlling and torturing high value prisoners without leaving notable damage. In its inert form, the device seems like a Techmantic nail. When driven in the spine of the intended victim, the device expands filaments along the nerves. It can then be activated with a remote controller to inflict pain. Installing the painspike requires rudimentary anatomical knowledge (2D Fleshcraft / 4D Leechcraft check). When activated, the Painspike can be used to cause pain equal to a Light Wound, Serious Wound or Lethal Wound (including stun checks and other pain-related effects). The fourth and final effect overburns the device, destroying it and sending a lethal pulse of electricity into the victim. This pulse inflicts 10D exploding, armor-negating damage. Removing the device requires surgery (5D Fleshcraft check). A failure may result in nerve damage.

Shimmerseer is a thin, flexible helmet inlaid with wires and set with small, but heavy goggles at the front. Seemingly opaque, the goggles contain a variety of Shimmermaterial lenses shifting on the doorstep of existence. Rest of the helmet contains a specialized calculation matrix used by a powerful Mekanima to translate the sensations to the wearer. The resulting sight provides clear vision through the very space-time itself.
As a result, the wearer is constantly bombarded with information on shifting, weaving possibilities regarding the immediate future. This grants him five levels of Lucky, over and beyond usual limits of the Blessing. That is, they stack with any level of existing trait. The character has further -3D to all Alertness checks, gains +5 Momentum and can spend one extra Momentum token per round, even after using Defence Pool. All checks benefiting from instant processing of information or spatial awareness gain -1D. Finally, every time the character uses an AP, there is a 50% chance of the effect happening without the point being spent due to his insight in possible futures.
Unfortunately, using a Shimmerseer is an addictive and maddening experience. The possibilities sensed overload human mind and often allow glimpses into things too strange to comprehend. Wearing a Shimmerseer inflicts a 7D Corruption check and a 9D Techmancery check per hour of use. A critical failure in either has the character fall into a psychosis, where he is plunged into an alternative if-world.

Shimmermask is a mask made of shimmermaterial - an endlessly shifting, dancing matter on the very edge of existence. Person wearing such mask has their features obfuscated and instead replaced with what the other person wishes to see. This makes the wearer appear very charismatic, attractive or even holy without showing their actual face. The effect grants -2D to all Social Skill checks. Affected people can try to resist with a 7D Willpower check. Ordinary success resists the effect, but still obfuscates the wearer, making their features impossible to remember later. Critical failure makes the character a willing slave to the wearer, while a critical success allows the character see the mask itself.
Techmancers can see through the effect if their Conduit is active. Seeing through the mask is subject to the Unreliable Conduit curse.
Wearing the mask for longer periods of times is disorientating and subjects the wearer to dissociation, inflicting 6D Self Checks if Madness Meter is in use. Further, the mask sometimes shifts the vision giving blinks of...something, incurring a 4D Revelation Check per hour of use. Using the mask for long periods of time is addicting and maddening.

Clockwork Cornucopia is a fabled legend of old, an entire wondrous factory portable in a single carriage. They all look different, usually covered with moving contraptions or disguised as other machines. Hidden underneath is the true machine - a large black case with strange interface and large, gaping maws. Inside the case dwell ancient and terrible forces. Golden swarms without number roll around each other in an eternal dance. In the heart of their tunnels is a large amount of Shimmermatter, providing endless power.
A properly handled Cornucopia can produce literally anything, with the exception of Omnium. It can only produce items up to its own size, but can make large things in parts which the user must then attach together. Raw materials are needed for the construction swarms to work on - these cost 10% of the listed price for the produced items. Making an item takes roughly half of the price listed in minutes.
Cornucopias contain thousands of different designs. Getting a production underway requires a 2D Spiritcraft check when using one of the designs. Ordering the device to produce something completely new requires a 4D+ Spiritcraft check, depending on the complexity of the production order.
Unfortunately all Clockwork Cornucopias are very old and their Mekanimas are both powerful and completely insane. The prolonged exposure to the Shimmermaterial core has driven them into a state no human mind can ever comprehend. Communication with them is cumbersome, infuriating and extremely dangerous.

Tranquility Shrines are lavishly decorated booths, their symbology usually pointings towards Ordo Voluptas. As a person enters the booth, he may be seated comfortably and is presented with images of natural beauty. Soothing music plays and the air is inserted with various substances. Hidden generators within the walls then bathe the person with mind-altering energies. As a result, the person falls into a pleasant, peaceful trance. The trance takes an hour, which he spends in a pleasant, dream-like haze. This leaves a lasting feeling of inner peace for several days.
Using a Transquility Shrine removes all Penalties due to emotional effects. They further give -3D to all Willpower checks for 2D days afterwards. A Corrupted character has a chance to lose a point of Corruption after a session in a shrine. Make a 7D Willpower check - if it is succesful, the character loses a point of Corruption. If a character with 7+ Corruption uses a Shrine, he is instead attacked by a paralyzing swarm (see swarmgun), Once paralyzed, the character is imprisoned in an Eversleep Coffin hidden in the base of the shrine.
