Later on, Jax put the boomerang motivator into a more convenient model. He turned it into a watch, with a pressure sensor in the watch face. Pointing the watch in the desired direction and pressing the watch face teleports you up to thirty feet in that direction. Press the watch face again, and you teleport back to your original position. The distance can be adjusted using a small dial.{{book ref|lux|12}}
=== Fathom Radar ===
The '''fathom radar''', or simply '''fathom''', is a surveillance motivator made from the DNA of the Epic [[Fathom (Epic)|Fathom]]. The motivator is inside a drone, which can scan large areas and display them as wire-frame 3D models. Jax uses it to gain valuable schematics of [[Lux (city)|Lux]]'s layout, using fathom to scan the city from underneath.{{book ref|lux|15}}
==== Scorchnotes ====
The fathom motivator is extremely useful when a reversing coiler is added. It can emit a ray, which when it hits an object, causes that object to be come two-dimensional. The two-dimensional object appears as an outline drawn in ash atop whatever surface the object was on, and the drawing cannot be removed. Firing again at the object restores it to its original state, causing the surface on which it rests to burst into flames and disintegrate. This allows the Reckoners to hide weapons, gear, and even vehicles on scraps of paper, smuggling them into Lux and then restoring them later. These are called '''scorchnotes''', as they burn the notes with the motivator to restore the gear.{{book ref|lux|15}}{{book ref|lux|18}}
=== Rtich ===
=== Sonic Snare ===
{{for|Sonic Snare|the Epic this motivator was derived from|pre="Sonic snare" redirects here}}
Perfected by Jax, the '''sonic snare''' can be connected to a sound mixer and used to listen to conversations or other sounds going on anywhere in a large area. Adjusting the frequency to the right setting allows the user to listen in on specific people or rooms. Jax uses it to eavesdrop on a conversation between [[Zeff]] and [[Prof]].{{book ref|lux|8}}{{book ref|Lux|9}}
When the Sonic Snare is reversed using coilers, it creates a bubble that keeps sound in, allowing anything done inside the bubble to be done with absolute silence.{{book ref|lux|21}}
=== Spyril ===
The spyril works by teleporting water into itself using what [[Mizzy]] calls a "streambeam"; it then shoots the water out forcefully to function like a jet pack, propelling the user with great speed.{{book ref|r2|24}} It is very sensitive and difficult to master; unless the user steers precisely and carefully, it can be quite dangerous.{{book ref|r2|23}}{{book ref|r2|24}} The device cannot generate water and is best used near a large body of water, such as in [[Babilar]].{{book ref|r2|24}}
[[Sam (Reckoner)|Sam]] was the first to use the spyril effectively.{{book ref|r2|18}} After Sam is killed by [[Firefight (Epic)|Firefight]], the motivator goes missing from the device.{{book ref|r2|18}} Megan later gives the motivator to David,{{book ref|r2|22}} though he lies about where he got it to the rest of the Reckoners.{{book ref|r2|23}} David becomes very skilled with the spyril and uses it extensively when the Reckoners battle [[Regalia]].{{book ref|r2|46}} Regalia notes that David is naturally skilled at using the spyril{{book ref|r2|25}} and suggests that he might have similar powers if he became an Epic.{{book ref|r2|41}}
=== Crystallix ===
'''Crystallix''' is a motivator made from the Epic [[Crystallix (Epic)|Crystallix]]. It can form blue crystalline structures in the air that don’t fall. The motivator is unstable, and the crystals dissolve very quickly. Jax integrates the crystalix motivator into a motorcycle. Because the crystal path dissolves quickly, the rider has to drive at high speeds to keep in the air as the crystals disintegrate behind them. The crystalix motorcycle can’t slow down or turn sharply when in the air because of the nature of the crystals.{{book ref|lux|2}}
=== Other Motivators ===
{{anchor|Animated mannequin}}
; Animated mannequin
Created by the Knighthawk Foundry from the cells of [[The Wooden Soul]], this motivator powers [[Dean Knighthawk]]'s wooden mannequin, '''Manny'''.{{book ref|Calamity|8}}
{{anchor|Bombs}}
; Bombs
Created by Regalia from the cells of [[Obliteration]], these motivators use Obliteration's heat manipulation power to store up thermal energy which can then be released in an explosion. If the motivator is sufficiently charged, this explosion can be powerful enough to level an entire city.{{book ref|Firefight|11}}{{book ref|Firefight|49}} The detonators are small rods.{{book ref|Calamity|47}}
{{anchor|Crystal grower}}
; Crystal grower
Created by the Knighthawk Foundry, this motivator can quickly grow new crystal formations if attached to a pure crystal latice.{{book ref|Calamity|9}}
{{anchor|Forcefield jacket}}
; Forcefield jacket
Created by the [[Knighthawk Foundry]] from the cells of Prof,{{book ref|Calamity|39}} this motivator replicates his ability to create forcefields. Prof often gifted Reckoners he worked with a limited version of this power that would protect them from some harm as well, though he disguised it as a motivator in the form of a jacket to hide his nature as an Epic.{{book ref|Steelheart|14}}{{book ref|Steelheart|41}}
{{anchor|Gauss gun}}
; Gauss gun
Created from the cells of the Epic [[Rick O'Shea]], this motivator fires bullets that explode with disintegrating energy,{{book ref|Steelheart|16}} though it requires an external power source.{{book ref|Steelheart|20}}
{{anchor|Harmsway}}
; Harmsway
A generic term, originally coined by Jonathan Phaedrus, for any motivator that provides healing.{{book ref|Calamity|9}} Some harmsways are more capable than others, depending on the strength of the healing power of the Epic they come from.{{book ref|Calamity|10}}
{{anchor|Knighthawk mobile phones}}
; Knighthawk mobile phones
Created by the Knighthawk Foundry, these phones provide secure communication over long distances, even underground.{{book ref|Steelheart|11}} Unusual in that, unlike most Epic-derived technologies, the individual phones don't need their own motivators, but instead all run on a hub of motivators in Dean Knighthawk's lab. As a result, they are one of the few motivators he has been able to mass-produce.{{book ref|Calamity|36}}
{{anchor|Imager}}
; Imager
Another motivator the Knighthawk Foundry has been able to mass produce, this device creates nearly three-dimensional images, even when projected on irregular surfaces, without any shadows from those in the way of its projection.{{book ref|Calamity|36}}
{{anchor|Tensors}}
; Tensors
Created by the [[Knighthawk Foundry]] from the cells of Prof,{{book ref|Calamity|39}} this motivator replicates his ability to turn inorganic matter to dust. Prof often gifted Reckoners he worked with this power as well, though he would claim it was a motivator to hide his nature as an Epic.{{book ref|Steelheart|11}}{{book ref|Steelheart|41}}
