=== Signature Assets: Technomagic Items ===
A Technomage can choose an item as a signature asset.  However, the item should only be usable in specific situations, and not just an easy way to get a bonus die for a spell effect.

The most common signature asset for a Technomage is their vessel, often called a '''Technomage Transport'''.  At a d6, the vessel has no combat capabilities, but can add the die to rolls to remain undetected by other vessels or to navigate hyperspace.  An enhanced signature asset may have armaments, improved navigation, or other capabilities.

Some Technomages choose a '''Place of Power''' as a signature asset.  The Technomage can add the asset die to rolls utilizing technomagic in that location, but the asset cannot be moved and can be lost if the location is destroyed.  A Technomage that loses a place of power treats the former asset as a complication for a period of time determined by the gamemaster.

A focus is generally not a signature asset, but a part of what a Technomage needs to use their powers effectively.  See below for how the lack of a focus may affect a Technomage's abilities.
