Editing Magitek (section)

===/tg/ Examples===
* [[Dungeons & Dragons]] in general has built up a huge list of "industrialized magic" examples across the many settings and over the years. However, due to [[Medieval Stasis]], either the setting totally runs with it ([[Spelljammer]], [[Eberron]]), or else it tends to be restricted to lost civilizations or out-of-the-way places ([[Forgotten Realms]], [[Mystara]]).
* The Half-Golem is a template-race from [[Dungeons & Dragons]] 3rd edition that is essentially a magitek cyborg.
* The [[Warforged]] is a sapient golem, making it essentially a fantasy robot race, which has led to a stigma that they cannot shake off.
* In the [[Hollow World]] subsetting of [[Mystara]], the various technological items are actually running off of divinely granted magic, making them little more than enchanted items with funny appearances. This is intended to enforce the [[Medieval Stasis]] of the setting, as each "advanced" culture in the Hollow World is the last remaining preserve of a civilization that wiped itself out earlier.
* The [[Deadlands]] setting makes use of types one through three. The various [[Steampunk]] technology draws its power from burning Ghost Rock, which is literally the spirits of the damned compressed into magical coal. This also allows it to warp reality to allow things like clockwork-based cybernetic implants to function. The Mad Scientist class ''thinks'' it's doing science, when in reality their inventions are powered/given to them by demons whispering schematics and arcane secrets into their brains whilst they sleep. The Metal Mage archetype is a case of Deadlands [[multiclassing]] where you combine a Mad Scientist with a Huckster, and which invented a lot of spells specifically relating to technology (from being able to conjure simple gadgets to more rapidly build gadgets to dismantling gadgets in the field).
* [[RIFTS]] has the Techno-Mage class, which is an engineer-wizard who specializes in enchanting existing technology and building technological items that run off of/incorporate magic.
* [[Iron Kingdoms]] distinguishes itself by the fact all of the super-tech it uses is shamelessly powered by/based on magic.
* [[Exalted]] has a lot of examples of the "science and sorcery combined" style, reaching its peak in 2nd edition (magic-powered [[power armour]] and fighter jets, artificial limbs, and clockwork-based golem-androids) before it was dialed down in 3rd edition as lost technology from before a literal 90% of existence died to a plague.
* [[D20 Modern]] quite obviously uses the "enchanting existing tech" approach, given it's the epitome of urban fantasy gaming with a D&D origin. The Techno-Mage class in particular embraces this, blending science and magic to do things like cast spells through phones.
* There's too many examples of the "enchant existing tech" approach in the [[World of Darkness]] to count, but [[Mage: The Ascension]] stands out for using the "magic powered pseudo-science" approach, having the world-lore that technology is just another style of magic which came to dominate the "reality paradigm".
* [[CthulhuTech]] blends science and sorcery together so hard that it's impossible to tell where the difference actually lies. Fitting, given that [[H.P. Lovecraft]] basically stated that "magic" in his stories was merely a hyper-dimensional science that humanity doesn't understand.
* [[Warhammer Fantasy]] has two factions that both use the "meld magic and tech" style together; the [[Skaven]] have elaborate electrical engines fueled by [[warpstone]], which is essentially [[daemon]]-possessed plutonium, whilst the [[Chaos Dwarves]] build elaborate machines that only work due to being possessed by daemons. Of the two, it's hard to tell whose tech has more inherent issues. Chaos Dwarf tech demands blood sacrifice to run and wants to kill its operatives even when fed, Skaven tech just has a tendency to explode.
* Magitek is rather prevalent throughout the [[Warhammer 40000]] universe, as many of the most advanced technology draws upon the [[Warp]] in some form or another. Of course, this is a [[grimdark]] universe and Warp energy corrupts the fuck out of everything, so great pains must be taken to use said technology with due precautions/as little as possible. Or alternatively embrace the corruption and become a slave to darkness, but that's another bag of dicks.
* [[Shadowrun]] is what happens when you add type 1 magitek to a [[cyberpunk]] world.
* In [[Starfinder]], the term "Hybrid" is used to designate any item that combines technology and magic, although it's noted that these come in varying levels of interconnection, from a hologrammatic card shuffler programmed to emulate a [[diviner]] [[tarot]] deck to an ammo bandolier that incorporates the enchantments of a Bag of Holding.
