 A NeuraCore is an extremely powerful microprocessor. It grants the user all of the functions one would expect of having a computer installed into their head, akin to a powerful communicator. The exact Abilities and functions granted by such an extremely useful and powerful tool are too varied and complex to list in their entirety; however, here is a list of functions that it can perform:\\ A NeuraCore is an extremely powerful microprocessor.

-Calculate numbers, send text-based messages, make real-time audio calls, record sight; both as pictures or video, record other senses, track bodily functions, get cyberspace access, manage a calendar, provide directions in known space, serve as a wireless network hub and much more. Most of these functions are intended to be able to be performed as a Free Action, however it may require different Actions, Checks or even Rituals, as Appropriate. Have a discussion as needed to determine if the NeuraCore can help in any given situation.\\+Calculate numbers, send text-based messages, make real-time audio calls, record sight; both as pictures or video, record other senses, track bodily functions, get cyberspace access, manage a calendar, provide directions in known space, serve as a wireless network hub and much more.

 A NeuraCore is a powerful communicator. It automatically translates any text read, or language heard, will instantly be translated and heard as your language of choice, as long as the language in question is one recognised by the Device. Elves will hear Elvish, Humans will hear Terran, etc. This is why elves can have names like Bob Squirrelnutts, because it has been localised by the NeuraCore, and loses a little something in translation.\\ A NeuraCore is a powerful communicator.

 However, due to its installation into the body, running off the body's energy, it isn't capable of performing tasks outside of the body, such as projecting light, vibrating, playing sounds or video so that others can hear or perceive it. However, due to its installation into the body, running off the body's energy, it isn't capable of performing tasks outside of the body, such as projecting light, vibrating, playing sounds or video so that others can hear or perceive it.

 **Ash's Aside**\\ \\ We all know what a smartphone is, and that is essentially what a NeuraCore is, if it were implanted into your brain. It can be hard to determine its powers and limitations, given that the tools smartphones have change over time, as such, whenever you at home may be playing this, your typical smartphone may have features not listed above. Y'all will have to decide moment to moment what that means for your games, as I can't. What I can do is tell you the intention of the rules and let y'all work it out with grace and respect for each other's opinions. The main intention that I would state is that the NeuraCore is to facilitate the narrative. If the party is stuck, using it to call an Info Broker or solve a difficult equation to get a lead is exactly the kind of situation it is intended for. However, arguing that a character shouldn't be able to get lost on an unexplored world because their NeuraCore would have a Maps App isn't, getting lost is part of the narrative. Everything has limits, and it is mostly intended to be the best communicator ever, while also allowing players to pursue limited Tech narratives, even if neck deep in a magical jungle or solve simple problems that aren't interesting to interact with. **Ash's Aside**\\ \\ We all know what a smartphone is, and that is essentially what a NeuraCore is, if it were implanted into your brain.
