Frank Savicki's Wooden Pole

Origin
Frank Savicki originally emigrated from Poland to the United States and quickly joined the American Expeditionary Force several months later, after his citizenship was approved and World War I began. He was captured in France and held captive in prison camps, exposed to the cold, starvation and infection. Transferred back to Germany, he decided to escape from his new prison. He locked away the inattentive guards and carefully crawled beneath fields of barbed wire, reaching the Swiss border. With only the Rhine River standing in his path to freedom, Savicki used a wooden pole he took earlier to pole vault over the waters.

Effects
Makes security measurement such as camera systems, fortified barriers, motion sensors and even guards allow the user to move about freely. They are not deactivated; instead, each system will either marginally be unable to notice the user’s movements, ignore them or shimmy out to give them enough leeway. The user’s hands, arms and face will experience worsening cuts, scrapes and other puncture wounds over time.
