The ability to alter and control technology, often exercised through the usage of other powers, such as manipulating electricity, information, magnetism, and metals, or just hacking. Often called technopaths, these characters can use their abilities for a variety of purposes, such as altering and reshaping machinery, hacking into advanced computer systems, creating viruses, and so on.
This does not refer to the ability to simply operate technology, no matter how advanced, but the power to influence and manipulate it on a deeper, often supernatural level, though, rather than some magical aspect, it may be achieved through sufficiently advanced technology. It may involve Nanotechnology or Cyborgization, for instance.
