Technocore
Due to the absolute nature of the revolution of Kinetic Engines, machines which use them typically require extremely large and complex gear boxes to allow for the gradual increase or decrease in revolutions. In the early days, this was done manually, typically requiring a specialized mechanic's assistant, and large crankshafts to allow for higher stresses generated when the timing wasn't perfect. To counter this, several Enginists in Estalia worked together to create the first technocore.
Looking similar to kinetic engines, technocores are small, metal cubes covered in magical runes. Powered by Sparkpowder, they can automatically shift gears based on arcane programming and the forces felt by the gearbox. Most technocores are relatively simple, and can control only one gearbox, however, some more complex ones have been created, which can control multiple gearboxes. Some more eccentric enginists claim that they've managed to create technocores which border on true intelligence, however, the Trade House of Estalia has been unable to validate these claims.
