Ontonic objects are not simply technology, they may be considered Magical, but also might be Wonders. They arise when there is a significant chiasmatic event between two or more realities.
Some Ontonic Objects have sufficient Darkness imbued that they may cross the Shift and appear in multiple realities.
Individual objects can be powerful or seem relatively minor. However, new abilities of immense magnitude and unpredictability can be unlocked when one or more of these objects are brought into proximity.
