Information
E-pons, or Electronic Weapons, are used by Casters when having battles in real life. Because PAs are secured using motion locks, "all of the E-pons have sensors that detect the recruits' and casters' movements" to cast the proper PA when desired.

History
When the New World Affairs Commission first began experimenting with Universal Particles, they developed a device known as an Electronic Particle Manipulator. This EPM allowed the physicists to control the Particles but only enough to experiment with them. The Commission knew the various applications that this technology could have, but some of the Commissioners were only focused on one: Military.

One of the jobs of the first Recruitment Center was to design and test ways to weaponize the EPMs. After many concepts, they determined that their first E-pon design would be modeled after the classic "magic wand." Interestingly, this shape seemed to naturally control UPs better than any other, so the recruits began testing.

As the tests became more successful, many Commissioners desired to shift all efforts to perfecting E-pon technology, but some still wanted to use UPs for the good of the general public by making them available to everyone. Those who wanted to keep the tech for their own profit became known as Invertebrates and were aggresively trying to keep the other Commissioners from releasing it to the world. The disagreement became so polarized that the Invertebrates attacked the RC and stole all of their resources. However, they were unable to recover the blueprints to build the E-pons so they, ultimately, gained nothing.

High Command knew that a war was coming and accelerated the E-pon testing as much as possible, but with few resources it was nearly impossible. They did manage to build a few fully functioning E-wands, but the designs are still not finalized. As of now, the E-wand is the only functioning E-pon that exists. However, other designs have been mentioned, and an E-glove is already being designed and tested. Other styles that have been mentioned are an E-bow and E-blaster, but the status of those designs is unknown.
