Notes After this jump any powers are now part of you instead of your shard/passenger, and its connection is severed completely. All other shard limitations are released, even if you stay, letting Tinkers mass produce their tech, precogs see the Entities and Endbringers, etc. This doesn't enhance your power, only removes things like the Manton Limit that held it back before. The same applies to your companions and anyone you bring with you.

'The inability of other people to properly maintain Tinker-Tech is simply because a Tinker’s shard is hard coded to make it so anything they build is too complex and advanced to learn how to properly do so in any reasonable time frame. After this jump this is no longer a problem and you can make things that are easily maintainable and mass producible by others, with the caveat that it doesn’t do away with the normal issues of trying to do so. You can design things to make it much easier, with your power helping instead of hindering.' (edited)

The ball is very good at destroying inanimate matter, but not at all for anything organic.
This uses a very specific type of projection, but I could make hard light 'scale mail'.
The hard light bat projects forward from the projector, and the ball destroys inorganic matter that's in contact with it for too long.
I assume this is based on Breakout.
