Editing Cradle (section)

===Striker/Shaker Power===
Cradle could imbue his tech's attacks to let them hit with an explosive force beyond what they should have hit with. [[Victoria]] speculated that this might have been his version of Rain's [[Blaster]] power, or otherwise an adaptation of another Tinker's tech.<ref>The cable hit the ground around the base of Cradle’s robot, and the soil exploded with the impact.  Again, that surrounding force.<br/><br/>His version of Rain’s power.  Or something he’d begged and borrowed for, maybe, another tinker’s tech, modified to work with his gear.  That was a thing tinkers could do- a thing that drove them into tinker enclaves or the PRT.  Past tense ‘drove’. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/04/28/pitch-6-5/ Excerpt] from [[Pitch 6.5]]</ref> It was later proven to be the case, as when he took Rain's tokens on their sixth night in the dream room, he described the ability to run this power through objects.<ref>But he had the power- he could feel it running into the floor, as he pushed the power out toward his feet.  He felt it conduct into his bed, then his desk, as he touched them, struggling feebly to find a path to travel. [[Heavens 12.f]]</ref>

The upgraded version of this, resembles a [[Shaker]] ability, as Cradle can summon glowing lines in the area surrounding him, that cut anything they intersect, including powers.<ref>It wasn’t a bullet I had to worry about.  I was flying, thinking I was safe, when lines began to appear.  Silvery, but crisp, like slices in reality, reaching well over the building.<br/>
Not meant for me, but dangerous all the same.  I flew past one, and the Wretch had a limb extended.  I felt the Wretch get sliced, felt the dim sensation that was the Wretch’s extended being part.  The forcefield didn’t collapse.  It cut.- [[Heavens 12.7]]</ref> These lines stay stationary wherever they are placed.
