Ramsey aka Kralizec! (DustinM@rifts-rpg.com) While expensive to convert, a Techno-Wizard can turn any type of particle-beam pistol or rifle into Techno-Wizardry. During this process, the Techno-Wizard replaces the weapon's energy system, completely converting it to magic energy. Once finish, normal energy clips designed for the weapon will no longer function. Creation Costs: P.P.E. Cost: 12 + 6 P.P.E. for each die of damage the weapon does, +10 P.P.E. for each additional payload of 3 shots. Spells Needed: Sub-Particle Acceleration (see Federation of Magic, pg. 143) Physical Requirements: one diamond worth at least 1000 credits for each die of damage the weapon does, plus one diamond worth at least 1000 credits for each additional payload of 3 shots added to the weapon. Level Requirements: None; a Techno-Wizard of any level can create this type of weapon. As the Techno-Wizard advances in experience, they may build the weapon with an additional payload-increasing diamond at levels 3, 5, 7, 9, and 12. Time: 2D6 hours per each crystal in the weapon Usage of Converted Weapon: Weight: Unchanged, only the weight of the energy clip has been removed. Mega-Damage: Unchanged Rate of Fire: Unchanged Maximum Effective Range: Unchanged Payload: 3 blasts, plus 3 additional shots for each extra 1000 credit diamond added. If the Techno-Wizard is of sufficiently high level when the weapon is built, a maximum of 15 shots can be added (giving the weapon a total payload of 20 blasts). Mega-Damage Capacity: Unchanged Weapon Proficiency: Unchanged; WP Heavy Energy (RIFTS Main Book, pg. 33) Bonus to Strike: Unchanged To Recharge: 20 P.P.E. for mages, 40 I.S.P. for psychics, or 17 P.P.E. for Techno-Wizards will completely recharge the weapon, regardless of its payload size or the amount of damage it inflicts.
