| //Through sheer will and motion, a Whizz can convert mana, or better yet, velocity itself, into raw power, literal electrical or radioactive power. Engines that should’ve died hours ago roar back to life, shields hold when they ought to buckle, and generators hum with a kind of magical thrum that can be heard through a vacuum. Whizzes don’t need to sit in the cockpit to make it happen, though many do love the smell of ozone and panic; they can do it from the arcane decks, from the guts of a reactor, or strapped to the outside of a fighter screaming through atmosphere. When a Whizz’s blood is up, limits stop meaning anything. They don’t respect the laws of motion or thermodynamics — they overtake them. To a Whizz, reality’s just drag, and they’re built to break through it.// \\ | //Through sheer will and motion, a Whizz can convert mana, or better yet, velocity itself, into raw power, literal electrical or radioactive power.
