It's part of the class package. We auto-resolve issues under a certain level of difficulty just by being nearby. Pretty nifty.

This only works on others computers.

If the wizard themselves experience a minor irritating tech issue, then it stays permanently and forces the wizard to use a convoluted work around instead of asking another wizard for help (this would fix it)

Haha! Yeah, that's pretty much it :,D

We should sprinkle IT people around the offices like wifi routers. To project their aura of auto-resolving constantly throughout the workplace. As a programmer I have more of an aura of auto-breaking any system that I'm near so hopefully they cancel out
