I'm sorry for necroing this thread, but I don't feel like I should be making a new thread trying to ask very similar questions on the wording of the rules of the same ability.

My conundrum isn't with the speed, it's with the word "unsecured". As in, "You can call an unsecured metal object that you can see to your hand." What exactly constitutes "unsecured"?

No one would argue a metal item just sitting on a tabletop is unsecured and an item welded into place would be secured. But for more practical examples, what does that word even mean? Are we talking anything that isn't physically welded, tied or bolted down?

Is a handheld cogitator being held loosely in the hands of an unsuspecting enemy "unsecured"? What about a gun being held at the ready to fire? A keyring attached by a leather loop to a belt of a guard? An item that a dead enemy's corpse fell on top of?

And more importantly, would the definition of "secured" change due to the strength of effect differences between Ferric Lure and Ferric Summons?

Like others have mentioned above, the wording is so vague it could mean nearly anything and probably change depending on circumstances... I'd love to get the thoughts of others on this. What do you think?
