Aptitude
Find the fault. Use the fault. Patch the fault. If you can point at the crack in one sentence, the bonus applies.
Advantage
A quiet rewrite of presence. A frame skips; a doorway forgets. He was already here—or was never here at all.
Weakness
A broken machine, ward, story, person, or room cannot remain scenery. Miguel stays one beat too long.
Signature rote / Room Checksum
Correspondence, Prime, and Entropy rewrite the room’s local continuity of Miguel’s presence. It is not teleportation. It is an edit to who the scene believes belongs inside it.
The engine of the character
Weakness says stay and poke.
Aptitude makes the poke dangerous and useful.
The fix gets a price.
Finish the job—or leave it half done.
