Bolt Charm

A Copper Fang essential that has become standard issue for all members of the CC chapter. These three-part charms seem to function simply on the surface but essentially allow unfailing teleportation using manhole covers like upside-down teleportation circles. If a charm has passed through a certain manhole it is able to return the user to return unerringly to that spot provided they remember it to envision it. They require no attunement and no magical ability on the part of the user, and set location and use of entry with a thought allowing even for non-wearers to be invited through on behalf of the wearer. They're nothing short of a magic technological marvel.
Bolt charms require the classic symbol of the Copper Fangs on a necklace touched to a thin runic chip inserted under the flesh of one pointer finger. The third portion of making the bolt charm function is the exit vault. If within the base at an exit vault one must be clearly envisioning a manhole they have personally passed through using this enchantment. If at a manhole the destination defaults back to the base. Manhole to manhole teleportation is not possible.

Variations

• Standard issue bolt charms are restricted to inner city use only, unable to maintain connection at great distance. Within the city they have unlimited use, though they can break if strained by too many living creatures entering on a single charge. Replacing the charm includes replacing both physical components the copper fang carries on their person.
• Junkdog issue bolt charms require some arcane input on the part of the user to measure out and draw a chalk circle of the correct width if trying to transport something large, up to the size of the vault door's circumference.
• An upgraded long-distance bolt charm is currently in the testing phase but it is expensive to produce and much harder to make. It has limited charges, able to be accessed twice a day (once to leave and once to return,) and is more easily broken.

Fun Facts: Originally had the unfortunate name "Bolt Hole Charm," which you should try saying out loud. Dizzy is still salty about that.
