To activate this ability, Belle must infuse an object with her nen, an action which requires her to touch and maintain contact with the object using her dominant (right) hand for a duration that increases with the size of the object. A pair of handcuffs takes a touch to infuse. A folding baton takes a second. A Go-Kart takes ten seconds. A car takes thirty seconds. Larger objects are possible, but the time required begins to increase exponentially, rather than linearly. Belle can accelerate the process by using her left hand combined with the right, increasing the speed of infusion by 50%.
After successfully infusing the object, Belle gains control over its functions, as well as an awareness of the object itself, acting as if it were a part of her own body. By focusing, she can effectively hijack control of simple mechanical processes. This would allow her to, for example, deploy a baton at an inopportune moment, flip switches on an infused panel, or sit in the back seat of a car while driving it as the only passenger.
Belle is unable to use this ability to take control of internal electronics and computers.
Nen Ability: Recital (1000 OM) (Tier 1 Assist)
As long as Belle is within 'earshot' of an object she has infused, she can give the infused object a verbal instruction, after which the object will attempt to execute the command as an extension of her will. Such commands must be simple in nature ("follow that car", "only fire when this person is in front of you"), with generally one if/then condition possible. As these objects are being influenced by Belle's will and perceptions, any execution is less skilled than what Belle would have been capable of herself.
Marionette requires focus to do anything, so I don't really see how it's any different from usual telekinesis. I guess if you want to do things to an opponent's weapon, which you wouldn't normally be able to manipulate, by touching it for a bit. But you could telekinetically control the steering wheel of your car, or flip a switch (and so on) with no move.
Recital: Assists need stats (a T1 assist has 5 stats by default - and you might end up finding your car ends up slow because of it as its max SPD would be 2, double with superspeed/burst movement if you have those powers as assists can use all your powers and moves). I'm not sure about having a single assist be able to be multiple different objects. Normally an assist is "my friend Jimmy" or "a group of skeletons" and not "can be this or this or this". Also, you don't need to limit it to simple commands. Assists are intelligent. You can say it follows Belle's orders, but it would do so intelligently.
