Magi-Mechanics
Magi-Mechanics is a hard field to categorize. Inventions considered Magi-mechanics simply need both "hard" mechanics and magic. Things such as Arcanarms are actually mostly magic-driven, with very simple mechanisms to release the power of the weapon. On the other hand, Sky drivers are driven by the magic of Swoop , but operate off of technology. Without the frame of the sky driver, the Swoop simply provides uncontrollable force.
Magi-Mechanics are everywhere in the realms, and provided the basis for settlement in Kaiyocea and Aerava, in the form of Water Breathing Accessories and Sky Driver. Likewise, Terr'aina is unified and prospers thanks to Sending Towers.
There are a few general rules inventors tend to follow when creating Magi-Mechanics. Firstly, improvement or adaptation over creation. This mean that when inventing Magi-Mechanics it is better to take an existing item or tool and either adapt it to your idea or improve it in some way. The second general rule is that complexity makes Magi-Mechanics less reliable and more potentially dangerous to the user. This is essentially as it sounds - More complexity in one Magi-Mechanic often makes a Magi-Mechanic have problems called "bugs". This is why Water Breathing Accessories have taken so long to introduce additional features. Magi-Mechanics should have very little lasting impact on the world or the flow of magic as a whole. This is actually incorportated into the motto of the Bavi'kaan. Long since seen as a taboo across even the realms themselves, violating this rule will direct every Magi-Mechanists' ire to you.
