[edit]Electro-cells were created by the scientists at the Experimental Energy Research Laboratory, and drew power directly from Earth's magnetic field. However, the slightest misadjustment cause a catastrophic chain reaction that would permanently disrupt Earth's magnetic field and cause mass destruction. Roleplaying Game Core Rulebook
