because the suit's copper circuitry is mounted outside the suit, it is easily disabled by splashing it with water, causing a short circuit. the new power suit (named 'prototype kx4') created by paul's father in our world is able to repel the earth's magnetic field, allowing it to fly. its circuitry has also been sealed against being shorted out by exposure to water and power bolts are generated and discharged with the press of a button on the suit's gauntlet, rather than striking wrist plates together to generate the static electricity. the keypad on the suit's gauntlet can also control machines, such as a television and even an elevator. the new power suit however has a weakness of strong magnetic fields, just like the powersuits in the land of the spellbinders.
