Plural: Twilight Inventions 800s
Twilight Inventions is the second biggest electronic component company in Twilight (the largest being SketchiTech), and they generally focus on making useful devices for normal people.

Look, it's really complicated and you'll just hurt yourself if you try to untangle the cause and effect. Just use the fool thing to help you pass the time with fun little games and the built-in money management program. How can a graphing calculator do all that? I already told you: it's from the future!

- or
- From what you can derive of your enemy's power, you might need to divide their attention. You whip out your calculator and challenge them to beat your high score on Stage N of Falling Blocks. Even if you miss their sweet moves in real life, at least you'll add to your skill at Falling Blocks. Inverse Sine.

You play a couple rounds of Homerun Derby on your calculator. Whoa, X feet? You feel stronger already! You get an extra Strength point!
- or
You play a couple rounds of Caffeine Wars on your calculator. You don't know why University Heights wants Kopi Luwak, but the gameplay is stimulating. You get an extra Intellect point!
