The Adamantine Rapier

Yeah, but it does alter existing structures quite easily, by doing things like turning car engines into anti-gravity drives. The full process he used was something along the lines of "Take Handwavium, add burned Deus Ex CDs and CDs full of Transhuman Space PDFs, academic papers, and Orion's Arm pages, add finely powdered Solids, pour on a bucket full of powdered graphite and play techno music". Really, all the hardtech base does is provide the foundation for the handwavium to do its thing; it's probably riding right down the line between "making handwavium tech" and "making a very specialized breed of handwavium"; at a macro level, there's little difference. Power? Handwavium. Mobility? Handwavium. Communication and coordination? Handwavium.
