“Every one of these boxes is stuffed with bits of dead Epic. ”

—Zeff.[1]

A motivator is a device that replicates abilities from an Epic's power set.

Function

Motivators are created by harvesting the cells of dead Epics.[2] These cells contain Epic DNA, which duplicates the powers of the original Epic when exposed to electrical currents.[3] The current required for each Motivator is different, requiring some experimentation to get just right.[citation needed] Motivators are responsible for keeping the cells of Epics alive, which includes feeding them, regulating their temperature, and dealing with any produced waste.[3] Motivators tend to be expensive and volatile.[1]

Examples

When in Babilar, David Charleston uses a motivator called a spyril to move quickly between the rooftops of the city.[2]

Trivia

  • Epic mitochondrial DNA, the key ingredient in all motivators, is used as high-level currency between the Reckoners and arms dealers.[2]
  • Any given piece of Epic-based technology requires a motivator to function.[2]
