Ramsey aka Kralizec! (DustinM@rifts-rpg.com) Any type of S.D.C. shotgun (12 Guage Beretta, 12 Guage Winchester, etc.) can be converted to Techno-Wizardry. Once converted, the weapon amplifies and directs telekinetic energy to fire bullet-hard bolts of force. Note: The TK bolts leave no telltale casings, bullets, or muzzle flash. Bolts that hit a target puncture or tear through it, but there is no physical round/bullet. Once it hits, the force bolt is gone. Creation Costs: P.P.E. Cost: 11 + 5 P.P.E. for each die of damage the weapon does, +10 P.P.E. for each additional payload of 2 shots. Spells Needed: Telekinesis and Energy Bolt Physical Requirements: one rose quartz worth at least 750 credits for each die of damage the weapon does, plus one diamond worth at least 1000 credits for each additional payload of 2 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 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, and 11. Time: 1D8 hours per each crystal in the weapon Usage of Converted Weapon: Weight: Unchanged, only the weight of the ammo has been removed.
