Build the level-one sheet
Draft01
Confirm the Ledger. The sheet does the arithmetic.
Profession, Origin, and Grant are brought forward from the Life Ledger whenever possible. Confirm their level-one mechanics, make the remaining play choices, and generate the sheet.

Drive and Grit: As a bonus action, enter a Drive for 1 minute, proficiency-bonus times per long rest. While driven, gain advantage on Strength checks and saves and add a Drive Die to one melee damage roll each turn. The die is d4 at ranks 1-4, d6 at 5-8, and d8 at 9-12. Maximum hit points increase by 2 for each Breaker rank.

01
Author the Design Scope
The Scope is a narrow supernatural engineering discipline unique to this character. Name its permission and its prohibition.
Open three reference models
Examples only: These show the intended width of a Scope. They are not selectable packages or finished player options.
Project grasping, striking, restraining, and sheltering force in the shape of hands.
Boundary: The device creates only hand-shaped force. It cannot form weapons, independent creatures, solid walls, or effects that do not resemble a hand's grasp, shove, hold, or protection.Record, trace, expose, and intensify information carried by visible light.
Boundary: The device works only with ordinary visible light. It does not detect heat, sound, thoughts, magic, or anything that no visible light reached. Total darkness and opaque cover remain real barriers.Move burden between bodies, surfaces, and supports without creating or destroying mass.
Boundary: The device changes relative burden and how a load is carried. It does not create mass, erase gravity, levitate indefinitely, crush from a distance without a listed effect, or alter anything beyond its stated range.02
Write the Core Systems
The Core Function handles a narrow practical task. The Core Expression is the repeatable action, reaction, or stance that establishes the Grant in play. Neither spends a Charge.
A reliable utility expression that solves one focused kind of practical problem.
A repeatable level-one expression comparable to a cantrip, basic attack, defense, or stance.
03
Create three Rank I Schematics
Write three different devices within the same Scope. Each should be comparable to one focused level-one spell or class feature. You know all three and install one after each long rest.

Describe the Active Device
The housing can change. The Scope cannot.
