Where would the material to make those repairs come from? And how would the nanites get the material when they're dispersed in a cloud?
I'm not saying "no" just yet, but I'm not saying yes either.
I honestly didn't think about it. Then I stopped to think 'well, if part of the arm was damaged and mass lost, where would the replacement matter come from?' and that was obviously reservoirs of replacement material.
Now I'm thinking of a self-consuming metal-and-polymer patch that you slap onto something and it'll shore things up until proper repairs can be done.
Hmm. Sure, I'd allow that. Wouldn't even need to be a power slot.
YEEEEE!
Vista: *flips open a panel and pulls out a bulky first aid kit to show Taylor* "My magic tricks are amazing! This is irrefutable fact!"
Taylor: "Yeah, that's actually really cool. Wait... do you have one under your wrist to store cards in? I THOUGHT you were too good last time we got roped into cards!"
V: "Pff, no. I don't have a secret card slot, that'd be silly."
T: "Well alright, then. I'm sorry I jumped to conclu-"
V: "It is currently full of fudge pudding."
T: "..."
V: "And I can totally see your cards with my powers, I don't need sleight of hand to cheat."
T: ". . ."
V: "I've got a change pouch in my pinky. Want to watch me pull quarters out of people's ears?"
T: "*sigh* yeah alright that sounds fun."
If you wanted it as a disintegration grenade, I'd let you have it. It's the at-range regen I'm undecided on.
If we set that to only target non-organic things, wouldn't that be the rust grenade people were talking about? That sounded nifty.
Now we need to find someone for Dragon to sync with, don't we?
Need? No. It would be good for productivity, though. It's on the to-do list.
Maybe Maclebuin? He seemed kinda' blacksmithy, if I'm remembering right.
