    It’s ‘psychic paper’, it shows what the holder wants it to. Like a super adaptable fake ID

    It’s ‘shorted out’ like an electrical appliance would if you overload it, because it’s been asked to do too much

    (in the Dr Who world, ‘magic’ things like psychic paper are acutally just advanced technology)

      Aw that sounds familiar. I watched those episodes when they first aired but I forgot enough of it that I assumed the in-universe tech was actually just an American English vs British English language difference lol.

      thanks.
