All characters who perform techgnosis must have a medium - a prop that contains the machinery that allows them to perform rituals and interact with AIs. This can be any shape or size - see here for more advice.
Techgnostic abilities come in the form of rituals which require appropriate role-playing.
Rituals
The list of available rituals can be found here
These are technopathic ceremonies that have to be lead by a skilled technopath with the knowledge of the ritual wielding a medium. Otherwise, anyone may contribute to rituals, increasing the favour, naturally with technopath contributors being more effective than others. The favour can be further increased by spending scrap and inorganic resources.
Rituals last at least a minute, often longer. Usually rituals are limited by use, an AI will likely not respond to repeated performance of a ritual.
The goal of techgnostic rituals is to manipulate and affect AIs. This is much easier when the AI is aligned with the technopath's goals and when the AI is favourably disposed towards the technopath. It is well known that additional petitioners taking part in the ritual increase the ritual favour, presumably because the AI is pleased by the attention of so many humans. Should every single person participate in a techgnostic ritual, the ritual favour will increase significantly as the AI sees that all of humanity rests on this request.
AI Roleplaying Effects
All AIs invariably give a role playing effect when bound to a person's Ka. This is a fundamental part of their nature and cannot be prevented but the effect can be suppressed by other means.
