This cypher field requires at least one dot in Tech Use to enter.
Warpsmithing 1
Focus (implement): Use implements in cyphers that don’t specify a focus.
Cog Whisperer: Choose a sufficiently advanced piece of non-sapient technology (a single vehicle, a specific system on a spelljammer, an computing device, or the like). When dealing with the chosen machine, the engineer may spend a hero point to immediately learn the cause of whatever problems the machine has and a level*3 bonus to fix them. Lastly, they gain a raise to operate the machine in all its ways.
If the machine is destroyed, the engineer immediately gains 2d10 insanity points and learns of the destruction regardless of where they are. The engineer may change what machine is affected by attuning to a machine for two days.

Warpsmithing 5
Daemon Engine: Whether you bound a daemon into the machine or you put so much effort into it the warp took notice is up to you. The subject of your cog whisperer power gains the daemonic trait and living vehicle modification (if it’s a vehicle, of course). If needed, use your willpower in place of the machine's constitution.
If the subject is a weapon, it gains the daemonic and sanctified traits, using your alignment as its own. If the target is a spelljammer system, only said system becomes daemonic.
