A gizmo is a consumable item that allows time-limited use of a Power. Gizmos are a subtype of Gimmicks and purchased as such. Unlike the similar Alchemic Items and Gadgets, there is no list of gizmos; instead gizmos allow the use of a Power from the normal rules. This works as if you had the power granted by the gizmo.

Gizmos are linked to an Origin which determines how its power interacts with the powers of other Origins. In some campaign worlds there is a strong Origin Divide among different origins. Check with your GM regarding your campaign. If an item has an origin different from yours, you cannot use it. However, regardless of origin, you can use a gizmo unless you have a specific Method or Limitation that prevents this.
