Man what about tech abilities in general? Take incinerate - responding to my command my omni-tool manufactures a small amount of combustible material, surrounds it in a self-generating Mass Effect field, fires it from my wrist, but also provides it with a VI so that it can direct itself to a moving target over cover and across the battlefield?

In fact if you really sit and analyse this game all of this supposed technological explanation falls away with very little effort, leaving you with magic tech that allows you to play a cool game.
