Okay, it's not a full range of mage powers. It's not the Force. It's not telekinesis. In fact, it's a fairly limited setup with only one purpose, at the moment.

But it is a chance to make something explode. With your brain.

A group in Kentucky hacked the setup together. It's a Star Wars Force Trainer toy, a device that senses brain activity, hooked up to an air cannon, stuck inside a watermelon. Do enough thinking, and your brain's electricity power's the setup.
