 '''Tertiary Power:''' Zeitgeist's shard archives all of the movements of his body and feeds it back to him as part of his power. As a side effect, he has a very fine kinesthetic sense and memory (He knows where his body ''is'' and ''has been'' to a nearly flawless level of detail, which is necessary to manage his power) as well as an improved sense of timing, which greatly increases his ability to coordinate with his images and provides a marginal advantage in combat.
-{{Equipment
+The grip is full of powerful electromagnets, designed to 'lock' into the grip of a metal gauntlet or glove. This allows it to not be yanked out of their hand when the cable retracts.
-{{Equipment
+Could theoretically be used as a weapon, firing it towards an opponent, hitting about as hard as a beanbag from a shotgun when its prongs are retracted, or like a harpoon gun if the prongs are deployed. Is able to retract to fire again in only a handful of seconds.
