noun nodules
- A small lump, often roughly hemispherical in shape; a small node.
- A rounded mass or irregular shape; a small knot or lump. Biotics manipulate mass effect fields using dozens of element zero nodules within their nervous system that react to electric stimuli from the brain. Amplifiers allow biotics to synchronize the nodules so they can form fields large and strong enough for practical use.
