Closely linked to wordMordeth/word, the Mordfactor is a paranormal
force, primarily used for evil, often without the
user's knowledge.
Can be referred to as "The Murphy's Law of Electronic Equipment".
Events with no plausible explanation are often referred to as the
work of the Mordfactor. Most commonly, electronic equipment is damaged, but it extends to many other areas as well. If it can fry, the Mordfactor will most likely do so, but only for the individual cursed with it - everyone else will continue as
normal.
Occasionally, the Mordfactor may be held responsible for an unusual "lucky" event, but are
rare compared to "unlucky" events.
It is advised that anyone suspected of having a connection with the Mordfactor should be kept at a minimum distance of
10 metres from any critical electronic equipment.
Term coined by Damien Mulley,
