The Genius Mind-Enhancer is a dermal patch found in System Shock.

An experimental combat-enhancement patch developed by TriOptimum Pharmaceutical in the 2070's, it enhances concentration and problem-solving abilities, making puzzles easier to solve.

The method of application is a dermal patch applied directly to the skin, with the dose delivered by dermal osmosis. These compounds are still being tested and show serious side effects with their current compositions.

Strategy[]

The Genius Mind-Enhancer works for about 30 seconds during which the wire puzzles have lowered threshold scores whereas the grid puzzles show next step if the solution is within 3 steps. The use of this patch has a dangerous side effect described as "dizziness" - the left-right controls are temporarily reversed.
