You create an invisible, nanotech camera drone within range that hovers in the air for the duration.
You mentally receive visual information from the camera drone, which has normal vision and darkvision out to 30 feet. The eye can look in every direction.
As an action, you can move the camera drone up to 30 feet in any direction. There is no limit to how far away from you the camera drone can move, but it can't enter another plane of existence. A solid barrier blocks the eye's movement, but the camera drone can pass through an opening as small as 1 inch in diameter.

Squirming, ebony tentacles fill a 20-foot square on ground that you can see within range. For the duration, these tentacles turn the ground in the area into difficult terrain.
When a creature enters the affected area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there, the creature must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take 3d6 bludgeoning damage and be restrained by the tentacles until the tech ends. A creature that starts its turn in the area and is already restrained by the tentacles takes 3d6 bludgeoning damage.
A creature restrained by the tentacles can use its action to make a Strength or Dexterity check (its choice) against your tech save DC. On a success, it frees itself.

Entropic
Entropic energy washes over a creature of your choice that you can see within range, draining moisture and vitality from it. The target must make a Constitution saving throw. The target takes 8d8 entropic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. This tech has no effect on chromed or constructs.
If you target a plant creature or a technological plant, it makes the saving throw with disadvantage, and the tech deals maximum damage to it.
If you target a non-technological plant that isn't a creature, such as a tree or shrub, it doesn't make a saving throw; it simply withers and dies.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this tech using a tech slot of 5th level or higher, the damage increases by 1d8 for each slot level above 4th.

Creatures of your choice that you can see within range and that can hear you must make a Wisdom saving throw. A target automatically succeeds on this saving throw if it can't be charmed. On a failed save, a target is affected by this tech. Until the tech ends, you can use a bonus action on each of your turns to designate a direction that is horizontal to you.
Each affected target must use as much of its movement as possible to move in that direction on its next turn. It can take its action before it moves. After moving in this way, it can make another Wisdom saving throw to try to end the effect.
A target isn't compelled to move into an obviously deadly hazard, such as a fire or pit, but it will provoke opportunity attacks to move in the designated direction.

This tech assaults and twists creatures' minds, spawning delusions and provoking uncontrolled action. Each creature in a 10-foot-radius sphere centered on a point you choose within range must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw when you cast this tech or be affected by it.
An affected target can't take reactions and must roll a d10 at the start of each of its turns to determine its behavior for that turn.
d10 Behavior
1 The creature uses all its movement to move in a random direction. To determine the direction, roll a d8 and assign a direction to each die face. The creature doesn't take an action this turn.
2-6 The creature doesn't move or take actions this turn.
7-8 The creature uses its action to make a melee attack against a randomly determined creature within its reach. If there is no creature within its reach, the creature does nothing this turn.
9-10 The creature can act and move normally.
At the end of each of its turns, an affected target can make a Wisdom saving throw. If it succeeds, this effect ends for that target.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this tech using a tech slot of 5th level or higher, the radius of the sphere increases by 5 feet for each slot level above 4th.

DAMAGE/EFFECT
Bludgeoning
Until the tech ends, you use nanotech swarmbots to control any freestanding water inside an area you choose that is a cube up to 100 feet on a side. You can choose from any of the following effects when you cast this tech. As an action on your turn, you can repeat the same effect or choose a different one.
Flood. You cause the water level of all standing water in the area to rise by as much as 20 feet. If the area includes a shore, the flooding water spills over onto dry land.
If you choose an area in a large body of water, you instead create a 20-foot tall wave that travels from one side of the area to the other and then crashes down. Any Huge or smaller vehicles in the wave's path are carried with it to the other side. Any Huge or smaller vehicles struck by the wave have a 25 percent chance of capsizing.
The water level remains elevated until the tech ends or you choose a different effect. If this effect produced a wave, the wave repeats on the start of your next turn while the flood effect lasts.
Part Water. You cause water in the area to move apart and create a trench. The trench extends across the tech's area, and the separated water forms a wall to either side. The trench remains until the tech ends or you choose a different effect. The water then slowly fills in the trench over the course of the next round until the normal water level is restored.
Redirect Flow. You cause flowing water in the area to move in a direction you choose, even if the water has to flow over obstacles, up walls, or in other unlikely directions. The water in the area moves as you direct it, but once it moves beyond the tech's area, it resumes its flow based on the terrain conditions. The water continues to move in the direction you chose until the tech ends or you choose a different effect.
Whirlpool. This effect requires a body of water at least 50 feet square and 25 feet deep. You cause a whirlpool to form in the center of the area. The whirlpool forms a vortex that is 5 feet wide at the base, up to 50 feet wide at the top, and 25 feet tall. Any creature or object in the water and within 25 feet of the vortex is pulled 10 feet toward it. A creature can swim away from the vortex by making a Strength (Athletics) check against your tech save DC.
When a creature enters the vortex for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there, it must make a Strength saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes 2d8 bludgeoning damage and is caught in the vortex until the tech ends. On a successful save, the creature takes half damage, and isn't caught in the vortex. A creature caught in the vortex can use its action to try to swim away from the vortex as described above, but has disadvantage on the Strength (Athletics) check to do so.
The first time each turn that an object enters the vortex, the object takes 2d8 bludgeoning damage; this damage occurs each round it remains in the vortex.

You can bring along objects as long as their weight doesn't exceed what you can carry. You can also bring one willing creature of your size or smaller who is carrying gear up to its carrying capacity. The creature must be within 5 feet of you when you cast this tech.
If you would arrive in a place already occupied by an object or a creature, you and any creature traveling with you each take 4d6 force damage, and the tech fails to teleport you.

The tech doesn't take into account any possible circumstances that might change the outcome, such as the casting of additional techs or the loss or gain of a companion.
If you cast the tech two or more times before finishing your next long rest, there is a cumulative 25 percent chance for each casting after the first that you get a random reading. The GM makes this roll in secret.

Charmed
You attempt to beguile a beast that you can see within range. It must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be charmed by you for the duration. If you or creatures that are friendly to you are fighting it, it has advantage on the saving throw.
While the beast is charmed, you can issue commands to the creature while you are conscious (no action required), which it does its best to obey. You can specify a simple and general course of action, such as "Attack that creature," "Run over there," or "Fetch that object." If the creature completes the order and doesn't receive further direction from you, it defends and preserves itself to the best of its ability.
You can use your action to take total and precise control of the target. Until the end of your next turn, the creature takes only the actions you choose, and doesn't do anything that you don't allow it to do. During this time, you can also cause the creature to use a reaction, but this requires you to use your own reaction as well.
Each time the target takes damage, it makes a new Wisdom saving throw against the tech. If the saving throw succeeds, the tech ends.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this tech with a 5th-level tech slot, the duration is concentration, up to 10 minutes. When you use a 6th-level tech slot, the duration is concentration, up to 1 hour. When you use a tech slot of 7th level or higher, the duration is concentration, up to 8 hours.

You convert raw materials into products of the same material. For example, you can fabricate a wooden bridge from a clump of trees, a rope from a patch of hemp, and underwear from flax or wool.
Choose raw materials that you can see within range. You can fabricate a Large or smaller object (contained within a 10-foot cube, or eight connected 5-foot cubes), given a sufficient quantity of raw material. If you are working with metal, stone, or another mineral substance, however, the fabricated object can be no larger than Medium (contained within a single 5-foot cube). The quality of objects made by the tech is commensurate with the quality of the raw materials.
Creatures or tech items can't be created or transmuted by this tech. You also can't use it to create items that ordinarily require a high degree of craftsmanship, such as jewelry, weapons, glass, or armor, unless you have proficiency with the type of artisan's tools used to craft such objects.

The drone swarm is invisible to all creatures except you and can't be harmed. When a Small or larger creature comes within 30 feet of it without first speaking the password that you specify when you cast this tech, the drone swarm starts blaring an alarm. The swarm sees invisible creatures. It ignores Projections.
At the start of each of your turns, the swarm attempts to attack one creature within 5 feet of it that is hostile to you. The hound's attack bonus is equal to your techcasting ability modifier + your proficiency bonus. On a hit, it deals 4d8 piercing damage.

You make digital terrain in a 150-foot cube in range look, sound, and smell like some other sort of digital terrain. Thus, open fields or a road can be made to resemble a swamp, hill, crevasse, or some other difficult or impassable terrain. A pond can be made to seem like a grassy meadow, a precipice like a gentle slope, or a rock-strewn gully like a wide and smooth road. Manufactured structures, equipment, and creatures within the area aren't changed in appearance.
The tactile characteristics of the terrain are unchanged, so creatures entering the area are likely to see through the Projection. If the difference isn't obvious by touch, a creature carefully examining the Projection can attempt an Intelligence (Investigation) check against your tech save DC to disbelieve it. A creature who discerns the Projection for what it is, sees it as a vague image superimposed on the terrain.

This tech digitizes and reformats a creature that you can see within range into a new form. An unwilling creature must make a Wisdom saving throw to avoid the effect. The tech has no effect on a shapechanger or a creature with 0 hit points.
The transformation lasts for the duration, or until the target drops to 0 hit points or dies. The new form can be any beast whose challenge rating is equal to or less than the target's (or the target's level, if it doesn't have a challenge rating). The target's game statistics, including mental ability scores, are replaced by the statistics of the chosen beast. It retains its alignment and personality.
The target assumes the hit points of its new form. When it reverts to its normal form, the creature returns to the number of hit points it had before it transformed. If it reverts as a result of dropping to 0 hit points, any excess damage carries over to its normal form. As long as the excess damage doesn't reduce the creature's normal form to 0 hit points, it isn't knocked unconscious.
The creature is limited in the actions it can perform by the nature of its new form, and it can't speak, cast techs, or take any other action that requires hands or speech.
The target's gear melds into the new form. The creature can't activate, use, wield, or otherwise benefit from any of its equipment.

Sensors created by Observation techs can't appear inside the protected area or pass through the barrier at its perimeter.
Creatures in the area can't be targeted by Observation techs.
Nothing can teleport into or out of the warded area.
Engrammatic travel is blocked within the warded area.
Casting this tech on the same spot every day for a year makes this effect permanent.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this tech using a tech slot of 5th level or higher, you can increase the size of the cube by 100 feet for each slot level beyond 4th. Thus you could protect a cube that can be up to 200 feet on one side by using a tech slot of 5th level.

A sphere of self-replicating nanobots encloses a creature or object of Large size or smaller within range. An unwilling creature must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is enclosed for the duration.
Nothing--not physical objects, energy, or other tech effects--can pass through the barrier, in or out, though a creature in the sphere can breathe there. The sphere is immune to all damage, and a creature or object inside can't be damaged by attacks or effects originating from outside, nor can a creature inside the sphere damage anything outside it.
The sphere is weightless and just large enough to contain the creature or object inside. An enclosed creature can use its action to push against the sphere's walls and thus roll the sphere at up to half the creature's speed. Similarly, the globe can be picked up and moved by other creatures.
A disintegrate tech targeting the globe destroys it without harming anything inside it.

Utility
You digitize a stash, and all its contents, on the Dark Web. You must touch the stash and the miniature replica that serves as a material component for the tech. The stash can contain up to 12 cubic feet of nonliving material (3 feet by 2 feet by 2 feet).
While the Stash remains on the Dark Web, you can use an action and touch the replica to recall the Stash. It appears in an unoccupied space on the ground within 5 feet of you. You can send the Stash back to the Dark Web by using an action and touching both the Stash and the replica.
After 60 days, there is a cumulative 5 percent chance per day that the tech's effect ends. This effect ends if you cast this tech again, if the smaller replica Stash is destroyed, or if you choose to end the tech as an action. If the tech ends and the larger Stash is on the Dark Web, it is irretrievably lost.

You touch a stone object of Medium size or smaller or a section of stone no more than 5 feet in any dimension and digitally reconstitute it into any shape that suits your purpose. So, for example, you could shape a large rock into a weapon, figurine, or coffer, or make a small passage through a wall, as long as the wall is less than 5 feet thick. You could also shape a stone door or its frame to seal the door shut. The object you create can have up to two hinges and a latch, but finer mechanical detail isn't possible.

Fire
You create a wall of fire on a solid surface within range. You can make the wall up to 60 feet long, 20 feet high, and 1 foot thick, or a ringed wall up to 20 feet in diameter, 20 feet high, and 1 foot thick. The wall is opaque and lasts for the duration.
When the wall appears, each creature within its area must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 5d8 fire damage, or half as much damage on a successful save.
One side of the wall, selected by you when you cast this tech, deals 5d8 fire damage to each creature that ends its turn within 10 feet of that side or inside the wall. A creature takes the same damage when it enters the wall for the first time on a turn or ends its turn there. The other side of the wall deals no damage.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this tech using a tech slot of 5th level or higher, the damage increases by 1d8 for each slot level above 4th.

Damage, utility
A 20-foot-radius sphere of crushing kinetic energy forms at a point you can see within range and tugs at the creatures there. Each creature in the sphere must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes 5d10 kinetic damage, and is pulled in a straight line toward the center of the sphere, ending in an unoccupied space as close to the center as possible (even if that space is in the air). On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage and isn't pulled.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this tech using a tech slot of 5th level or higher, the damage increases by 1d10 for each slot level above 4th.

[Banishment] Defragment
4th-level Protection
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Components: V, S, M (an item distasteful to the target)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
You attempt to disrupt one creature that you can see within range, sending it to the digital realm. The target must succeed on a Charisma saving throw or be defragmented.
If the target is native to the physical world, you send the target to a harmless digital enclosure. While there, the target is incapacitated. The target remains there until the tech ends, at which point the target reappears in the space it left or in the nearest unoccupied space if that space is occupied.
If the target is native to the digital realm (such as an A.I, spam, or virus), the target is defragmented with a faint popping noise, its physical body dispersed and its consciousness returned to its native server. If the tech ends before 1 minute has passed, the target reappears in the space it left or in the nearest unoccupied space if that space is occupied. Otherwise, the target doesn't return.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this Tech using a tech slot of 5th level or higher, you can target one additional creature for each slot level above 4th.
