** A theoretical GameBreaker within the setting itself is the Axiom Pankosmoi, AKA Apekrina, AKA the Needle Grail. If it's real, this Axiom could prevent Havoc, enhance Inspiration, and even generate/harvest Mania from reality itself... somehow. There is no evidence that Pankosmoi actually exists, but mastering it would be tantamount to achieving godhood.

Critical Research Failure is a disambiguation page

* CriticalResearchFailure: These sorts of theories are the principles on which Wonders [[MagicPoweredPseudoscience supposedly]] operate. Many geniuses realize this is not how things ''actually'' work. Fortunately, belief in their explanatory theory isn't as important as the fact that they ''supply'' an explanatory theory and build their devices accordingly.

** The "Core Modifier". The better and more powerful a Wonder is, the higher the penalty assigned to all dice rolls involving it. The only way to mitigate that penalty is to load the Wonder down with flaws and drawbacks. Worse, many Axioms use the Core Modifier as a basis for how powerful their effects can be, meaning you're ''forced'' to make your Wonders worse to make them usable.

In game mechanics terms, either you dump Merit points into Resources/Dumpster Diver or get a penalty to build ''any'' sort of Wonder - and unlike other WOD games, you're required to state where those Resources come from, practically ''begging'' the Storyteller to take them away from you.
