Automatic:

Studying an unfamiliar magic item's workings can trick it into activating for the rest of the turn, though a bad attempt locks it away until the next prep.

Hands-on know-how lets a character build or fix gear, recognize alchemical concoctions, and recall facts about manufactured goods.

The unfamiliar technology of Numeria's Silver Mount still baffles Society scholars, yet you are one of the innovators who discovered how to operate a handful of these futuristic tools-possibly after surviving more than a few explosions. The Society might have recruited you for your esoteric abilities, or you might have sought out the Society's protection in escaping the covetously vile Technic League. Even if your understanding of advanced technology is imperfect, your hard-learned lessons are invaluable in deciphering and repairing gear.

Choose two attribute boosts. One must be to Constitution or Intelligence, and one is a free attribute boost.

You're trained in the Crafting skill and the Engineering Lore skill. You gain the skill feat.
