Norman Selfe's Pot Boiler

Origin
Norman Selfe was an Australian engineer, naval architect, inventor, urban planner and outspoken advocate of technical education. After emigrating to Sydney with his family from England as a boy he became an apprentice engineer, following his father's trade. Selfe designed many bridges, docks, boats, and much precision machinery for the city. He also introduced new refrigeration, hydraulic, electrical and transport systems. For these achievements he received international acclaim during his lifetime. Decades before the Sydney Harbour Bridge was built, the city came close to building a Selfe-designed steel cantilever bridge across the harbour after he won the second public competition for a bridge design.

Effects
Opening the pot instantly creates a plume of vapor that seeks out the nearest problematic system. Whatever it touches will suddenly become more technologically advanced, creating a system or device to ease the issues. The more prevalent or critical the issue, the longer the vapor will coil around the subject. Contact with people will cause their structure to alter and deform. Bones will sharply change shape, limbs may lengthen or fall off and body water can freeze over and melt out the veins simultaneously.
