Tension Screen
Wondrous, rare, Pathway® (water) (requires attunement to broadcast)
The Tension Screen is a large, water-based public display, commonly installed in town squares and major meeting areas. The system is connected to a secondary location known as the Flagstaff. Whatever is displayed or performed at the Flagstaff is simultaneously shown on the Tension Screen. Control of the Tension Screen is centralized at the Flagstaff location. Attunement and activation are required from this point, making the Flagstaff the base of the operation. The Tension Screen itself typically measures between 10 to 20 ft. in diameter. It consists of a metal disc framed by glass on both sides, with water filling its interior. This construction allows images and performances to be displayed within the water, visible from either side of the screen. Accompanying sound can be projected up to a distance of 60 ft. at a moderate volume. The screens require a single water Pathway® charge which lasts up to 1 week. Although these screens have been a common feature for about 200 years, their usage varies widely. Some towns and cities utilize them for public shows and entertainment, while others reserve them primarily for important announcements, warnings, or political statements.
