If a character with the Arcane Background (Weird Science) edge takes a new Power, say Bolt, do they need to roll a skill check to create their Ray Gun?

\$\begingroup\$ Remember, bolt requires shooting to use the gun, NOT the weird science skill! \$\endgroup\$– RyreCommented Jun 6, 2012 at 21:06

\$\begingroup\$ Thanks but knew that, the question was about making not using one. \$\endgroup\$– David Allan FinchCommented Jun 7, 2012 at 8:52

No. The time spent on the level-up shows devotion and perfection to the new device. There is no room for error.
From Explorer Edition page 84:
New Powers: Each time a Weird Scientist takes the New Power Edge, he has invented a new gadget. He simply chooses a power and decides what kind of gizmo it’s contained in as usual. He can also repeat a power he’s already taken. A mad scientist might want to create two ray-guns, for example, so that he can use one and give one to a companion.
