augmentations
Boosts to capability
Augmentations are additions or enhancements that increase something's size, value, or capability.
The word appears most often in technical contexts: surgical augmentations like breast implants, digital augmentations to photographs, or character augmentations in video games that boost abilities.
The cyberpunk genre features characters with mechanical augmentations.
