{{Variant table|Condition = Experimental Object|Effect = Description
|Value 30 = {{EO|30}}
|Effect 30 = Hephaesta's approach to the coin is physical: biting, bending, heating it in the fire. None of her attempts make a dent in its surface, though she does say it tastes like sparks.
|Value 40 = {{EO|40}}
|Effect 40 = Hephaesta is a great deal of help around the lab – not only with incisive observations on all she sees, but also in carrying the heavy equipment required to construct a locomotive engine.
|Value 130 = {{EO|130}}
|Effect 130 = She speaks with authority about the weapon's heft, its weight, the different balances required for throwing or impaling. But though experienced in a weapon's practical use, she knows very little about their manufacture.
|Value 140 = {{EO|140 - 160}}
|Effect 140 = Hephaesta knows something about binding obligations, and quite a bit about Parabola. This case challenges her anyway – the dissolution of such obligations is not something she can easily arrange. But she makes what suggestions she can.
|Value 310 = {{EO|310 - 320}}
|Effect 310 = Hephaesta knows very little about machinery, but she is excellent at, without apparent effort, lifting heavy metal objects and slotting them in place for you. 
|Value 330 = {{EO|330}}
|Effect 330 = […] "Sound workmanship […] she says, and smacks it solidly against the top of her workbench. The workbench gets the worst of it. "Surprised there isn't more of a maker's mark," […] "Something as expensive-looking as this, I'd expect a whole brass plaque. […]
|Value 410 = {{EO|410 - 470}}
|Effect 410 = Hephaesta's interest in animals extends mostly to comments on which would offer the most protein per ounce and which would attract the most attention at a circus. 
|Value 480 = {{EO|480 - 485}}
|Effect 480 = […] Hephaesta is usefully able to lift them, stack them, and juggle them; […] More serious inquiries make her thoughtful. She doesn't know for certain what has happened […] but it reminds her of other small and helpless beings who were modified before birth.
|Value 490 = {{EO|490}}
|Effect 490 = […] is usefully able to lift them, stack them, and juggle them; […] More serious inquiries make her thoughtful. She doesn't know for certain what has happened to these eggs, but […] this particular one does look like it was left rather longer on the shelf.
|Value 495 = {{EO|495}}
|Effect 495 = Hephaesta's greatest contribution is being able to hold a creature down […] And once, a lizard transforms halfway into a minor ziggurat before it dies. Hephaesta's assistance makes light work of cleaning away the remains.
|Value 510 = {{EO|510-540}}, {{EO|610}}
|Effect 510 = Hephaesta knows a thing or two about human anatomy, having sculpted her own body into such a magnificent shape. She speaks […] about the strength of bones, about hairline fractures, caries, rickets. She knows much less about inhuman anatomy, however.
|Value 810 = {{EO|810, 830}}
|Effect 810 = On the matter of rocks, Hephaesta is best-placed to help by carrying them around on your behalf or, occasionally, cracking them open with her bare hands so you can examine the insides.
|Value 910 = {{EO|910-1040}}
|Effect 910 = Hephaesta knows next to nothing about this subject, and is best-placed to help you by playing the role of a general assistant. She lifts things, she makes careful notes, she collates your findings.
|Value 1050 = {{EO|1050}}
|Effect 1050 = Hephaesta looks over the brick pattern for a long time, then shakes her head. "If it were a land mass, I might make something of it, but this is just decoration, as far as I can see."
|Value 1210 = {{EO|1210}}
|Effect 1210 = Hephaesta pores through botanical guides […]. Nostalgically, she ponders if there's any link between the hybrid fruit and the Hybrid she watched grow up […]. Of course, with the Hybrid long gone, this is not a particularly rewarding avenue of research.
|Value 1320 = {{EO|1320}}
|Effect 1320 = Hephaesta is very good with the dig site maps – the plotting of finds, the elevations that show where buildings might have run and at what depths the most significant pieces were found. She has less to say about the culture or history.
|Value 1340 = {{EO|1340}}
|Effect 1340 = Hephaesta purses her lips as she contemplates the ushabti. Some aspect of it troubles her – or else she doesn't quite know what to make of it.
|Value 1350 = {{EO|1350}}
|Effect 1350 = Hephaesta has a mighty go at the cuirass with a hammer. Then she takes it in tongs and holds it in the fire. Neither activity affects it […] "[…] decoration on the front […] looks like gold, but it isn't."
