The Dresden Files > DFRPG
From how far away can you hit someone with an evocation?

Actually, it's name is going to be "Claws" in Greek. The character is a great big comic book nerd, so a lot of his powers are inspired by the cool bits of the comics he reads. I thought the brass knuckles example would be more generically useful, but this guy is definitely imitating a certain Canadian Redneck we all know and love.

Personally, I wouldn't allow it if the image comes from anything more complex than a non-electric microscope, for that very reason.

What piece of the technology do you think it would be messing up? The only part that could fizzle or screw up would be the switches, which could be moved manually anyway, unless one of the cables actually broke.

you realize that at a high enough concentration of magic, Steem stops working?

Well, steam engines at any rate. I doubt anyone can hex the basic laws of physics enough to stop water turning to a gas. Spells, sure; hexing, no.

Steam engines are relatively complex combinations of gears, levels, and pistons. There are axles, transmissions, welds, joins, seams, pipes, and all sorts of things that can stick, creak, shift, etcetera. Plus, Steam applies a large amount of pressure, usually imperfectly spread out over the interior surface area of the engine.
Think of a steam engine as a controlled pipe bomb. Stick up one release valve, and you're looking at a catastrophe, not a simple mechanical failure. :-P
