Extra Info:

Ring magnets form a cylindric mace-head to bash against objects and syphon their electron juice into a battery slotted on the shaft.
The syphon baton is a weapon that can draw energy from the targets that it hits, storing that energy into any non-full energy cell that is slotted into it.[1]
The syphon baton is capable of pulling charge:
- Directly from creatures that it hits, if those creatures are capable of generating energy. For example, this is true if the target has the Electrical Generation mutation.
- From the equipment or inventory of the target that is hit, if any of those items holds an energy cell or is otherwise capable of generating energy.
- From the cybernetics of the target, if those cybernetics are capable of generating energy.
Each hit with the syphon baton draws 10d10010-1000 (Avg: 505) energy from the target[2] and, if there is enough room, stores that energy into the energy cell that is slotted into the syphon baton. The hit does not need to penetrate for this effect to succeed.
The syphon baton does not itself consume any energy to function - it only steals energy from targets.
Average Time to Recharge an Energy Cell
Assuming the target has charge available to steal, the syphon baton takes, on average, this many hits to recharge an energy cell from empty to full:
