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

—Zeff.

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. These cells contain Epic DNA, which duplicates the powers of the original Epic when exposed to electrical currents. 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. Motivators tend to be expensive and volatile.

Examples

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

Trivia

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