	The Technoarcana of the Machine Cult are a thin shadow of what the Martian Priesthood was once capable of unleashing - but they are not without their horrific potency - the advanced examples of technology hoarded by the Mechanicus give them a distinct technological edge against the foes of the Imperium - this is why Tech-Priests are so valued by the Inquisition where it can bring them in as agents for their deep and advanced knowledge of technology can make them as much a deadly fighter as a skilled artisan.

	~~=== Power Tests ===~~
	Several traits and abilities request that a character performs a Power Test - this is a test with a 25% chance of failure. '''In all cases''' you can always delay a test until it would not interrupt the flow of roleplay or combat - you are free to do it earlier, but we generally recommend doing tests at the end of a combat for example.

	The standard suggestion for doing this is take a bag of beads and fill it with 12 beads, 9 of one colour (representing success) 3 of another (representing failure) and do a draw. But any other method capable of determining a 25% chance of failure is acceptable.

	~~There may be conditions where this will flip and it will be a 75% chance of failure and a 25% chance of success.~~

	The Technoarcana are divided into two types '''Rites''' and a '''Martian Device''' - each Order has access to a handful of Rites, and a single Device which can take many forms.

	The Omnissian Technoarcana are ancient technologies invoked by sacred rites the servants of the Machine God that are used to create technological miracles. Obscured by rites and ritual these powers actually tap into reserves of ancient technology jealously guarded by the Cult Mechanicus in order to achieve otherwise miraculous-appearing effects.
