Motonic Inefficiencies in Humanoid-Template Systems is a complex treatise on magitech armour based around a humanoid shape. While it begins by pointing out the human form’s weaknesses from a motonic perspective and methods (additional layers of essence circuitry, new arrangements of Starmetal wiring, etc) to overcome them. The text then moves on to more extreme positions, positing that much of its advice is wasted effort and that the human form will always drag down any magitech device (the text is directly critical of another text, Principles of Advanced Enhancement Interfacing, for its failure to recognize this) and ought be abandoned in favour of some not-explained alternative titled ‘Ascending Rush’s Flow Symmetry Project 13G’.


The book can serve as a training manual for Power Armour Specialties in Craft Air (Ability) and/or Craft Fire (Ability), a maximum 4-dots.  In order to study from the text, a character must have a minimum Magitech Crafting trait of 2.
