The character has the ability to transfer electrical patterns around, across and through his body through a weird kind of tele electrical control. While not as potent as the ability to summon lightning, it does allow for some useful tricks.

1) Transfer data. The character can transfer information from one medium to another. This does not translate, but it can be held in storage for a while. Like a human tempest monitor, the character can drag electronic information from one source and transfer it to another at touch. In this way, he can pull a file from a computer, store it, and then transfer it onto his own for later perusal. He can also write to floppy disks just by holding it. He cannot understand the 1s and 0s individually, for that he needs a computer to translate. The transfer of information occurs at a rate of 1 MB per melee round. This rate is reduced by 1/4 if the relevant storage medium is without power. the character can store 1 GB per level inside his own mind. anything more and he will need some sort of secondary storage device on his person to perform a data dump. The character can also transfer thoughts to others by touch. These transfers are silent, but only one way. The character cannot read or write to optical media.

2) Mental manipulations: the character can manipulate his own nervous electricity. He has a +4 to save vs psionics. He can ignore pain, and command otherwise paralysed muscles to act. Through force of will the character can allow himself to move, even with a broken back, by simply ommanding neurons to fire over any gaps or breaks. the character is immune to neurological disorders, including deteriation due to age.

3) Transfer across flesh: the character can also command dead flesh. By touching the body of a person who is asleep, unconscious or deceased (or otherwise unable to cognizantly control his body) the character can make a semblance of life. As a sick party trick, the character can place his hand on a corpse and make it speak. A more practical use is to force a person who is normally unable to function to keep performing life functions, by forcing the heart to beat and the lungs to move (though if the victim of this is bleeding to death, or is unable to get oxygen to the brain then death is inevitable anyway).

4) Other benefits. the character takes 1/2 damage from electricity and ion weapons. Is immune to electrical based stunners and tazers. The character has +15% to first aid and paramedic. +3 to IQ and ME.
