Short cast: The Etherite multiplies the benefit from science checks when crafting by their Matter Sphere. They may also spend 3 actions to duplicate the effect of a Long cast: Wonder that they do not possess.

Long cast: Wonder: Devices An etherite with this rote picks one basic rote they know, that rote causes no paradox accumulation as they have made a device that casts it for them. They must still spend Q and make the challenge as normal, once used the device falls to pieces. These devices can be handed to others, but a mage can have a maximum of their (matter) at any given time.
