It pains me to think about some of the abilities that will be enhanced, but this sounds very plausible. I now eagerly await a pair of pantaloons that enhance Martyr potency by 50% so I can promptly make fun of the guy who developed them. I realize my jeers will never be translated, but it's still therapeutic to type them out.
