Is it possible to create a manatech device that can be used to power something with magic? I can see how you could maybe have some gizmo you cast a spell on, then the gizmo uses the energy from the effect you've created to power something. Maybe an Ignite Spell powers a boiler? Or a Magic Fingers Spell turns a dynamo? If anyone reads the Whateley Academy stories, it's similar to what Jinn does with the Kitty Compact.
I was also thinking there could be a spell specifically made for this purpose that causes some effect that allows energy to be easily harnessed. Maybe a variant on Physical Barrier that could be used to contain a fusion reaction, either. |
