Question Explain Attempt at the Five Fold makeing Gadgeteering... And Artificer Relevants

The problem that is tripping you up is the assumption that all scientific laws remain immutable in all cases. We, even in the real world, know that this is untrue. Most scientific laws are conditional. That's the 'assumptions' that set it up. For example... things work differently with aerodynamics below the speed of sound than they do above it. Things work differently with physics below the speed of light and above it. Etc. Our science generally doesn't incorporate magick, psionics, or most metaphysics... but if they were as prevalent as they are in the WU (especially as they were pre-Sundering); thinking that science wouldn't develop in such a way as to incorporate Essence driven technology... would be foolish.

Also, you assume that 'science' will develop along the same lines in all cases. That's not true. Steam power and electricity were natural outcomes of mechanics and industry on Earth where there is an abundance of water and conducting metals. A society with little of either but lots of sand or crystal might develop with optics as their foundation. Alien minds with alien senses and ways of perceiving the universe could very well focus on math and sciences that we haven't even touched on in ways that make them more advanced than us... while, meanwhile, not having things we consider basic necessity.

Finally... gadgeteering and devisor are NOT about invention. Invention is about taking ideas and understanding of how things work and developing a unique piece of technology to accomplish some task based on those ideas. Both gadgeteer and devisor operate more like those scientists who reverse-engineer technology than those who research and develop new technology. Gadgeteers are a natural outcome of the presence of Prescience and/or precognition.. have an inclination for figuring out how things work, how hard is it to believe your mind would turn your ability to glimpse into the future into a means of unraveling technological puzzles for you. And Devisors are much the same... except their 'glimpse' into a place where they can see the puzzles is not fore-sight... its across dimensional walls into 'alternates'. So Gadgeteers? Crossover between Clairvoyance/Paragon (with an affinity for tech) and Precog. Devisors? Similar crossover between Clairvoyance/Paragon and Warping.... and its the Warping that syncs the object to the alternate dimension and allows it to work here and why if it isn't used by the Devisor that it can fail (desync and tries to work in WU laws).

If you can't see the advantage in being able to reverse-engineer technology that your enemy is working on while you're at war...

Oh no. the Artificer is something else entirely...

Something... terrible.

MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Ya.. the casual observer might note I made no attempt to explain the Artificer ... at all. That wasn't by accident.

Not if she's been paying attention in class. Devisors are warned that some of the places they look into could cause madness. Remember, they don't START out crazy. Both most of them end up ... stranger... than the average mutant. Why do you think that is?
