You have latent psychic powers which hold broken and otherwise unusable pieces of equipment together.
So long as you are conscious you're capable of using broken equipment, weaponry, and armor. In addition to this you can craft equipment using 35% of the price instead of 50% of the price.
Broken weaponry and equipment have no Integrity and thus cannot utilize abilities which rely on it. If they would forcibly affected by an effect specifying Integrity the broken equipment is destroyed. Not even repairs will recover it from its damage.
Broken armor functions similarly to broken weaponry and equipment except that it instead possesses 1/3 of its original Defense Points and upon being reduced to 0 DP it is irreversibly destroyed.
