Transformer Companion
Concept: Transformer Companions believe that they are in contact with ultra-advanced alien robots from an artificial planet called Cybertron. While seldom good sorcerers, Transformer Companions specialize in conjuring powerful spirits which possess homunculus vessels.
Combat: Guardian
Detection: Guidance
Health: Fire
Illusion: Beast
Manipulation: Task
(Notes: The Transformer Companion tradition is a possession tradition, and comes with two built-in geasa for which the magician receives no bonus BP. First, no spirit conjured by a Transformer Companion may possess anything other than a purpose-built homunculus, constructed of plasteel or similar high-tech materials, and crafted in such a way that it can convert between a humanoid and vehicle form. Second, all spells known by a Transformer Companion must be fetish-linked, and the fetishes must be technological items appropriate to the spell, i.e., a sensor array for Detection spells, a firearm for Combat spells, etc.)

The magicians calling themselves Transformer Companions are a decided oddity, even within the multifarious ranks of the Awakened. They do not acknowledge the existence of magic, instead considering the spirits they conjure to be the "Sparks," or animating life-forces, of incredibly advanced cybernetic aliens called Transformers. These "Sparks" can only possess homunculi, never any other type of vessel, and only homunculi constructed in a very specific way: they must be made of high-tech materials, and they must be designed in such a way as to have a humanoid and a vehicle form that they can shift between by the mechanical movement of parts. Transformer Companions rarely make good sorcerers, and what spells they do use they claim are generated by technological items they carry with them, invariably referred to as gifts from the Transformers. More mystical traditions don't know quite what to make of these strange magicians, as they are even more adamant in their refusal to call their abilities magic than the so-called "psionicists."
