Essence Constructs


With the introduction of elementals to the world it was proven at least theoretically possible to create "matter" from Essence. The elementals were derived from the world's Dragon Lines so the massive power requirement was handled passively.

A few years ago a group in the Motic Science Department at MIT were able to produce a motic construct Thaumatergically materializing a form for an Animating Intelligence that had volunteered from their local server. This achievement followed several years of creating bodies artificially through the techniques passed down by Autochthon.


Rigging


While full material expressions of motic entities is still bleeding edge technology the use of Drone bodies created through artifice has become fairly common. People who manage and control these Drones or Ex Machina are called Riggers. Riggers are generally split on weather to use the word Drone or Ex Machina but to outsiders it is a lot like watching people fight over weather Free Running and Parkour are the same thing, it's academic and no one cares (unless they care a lot) so they are generally used interchangeably.

GMNote: Drone Rigging is basically enabled through the Familiar system and Survival Charms. Many Ex Machina have their own charm that allows a Rigger to directly control the Drone body without other charms.

The Ex Machina lends its body to its Rigger. The Rigger sees and feels what the Ex Machina experiences and may give it orders mentally. While at this state the Rigger may act normally.

At Rigging 3 the Rigger may instead fully immerse herself into the Ex Machina, allowing her to fully control the Ex Machina's actions. In this state the Rigger must remain still and may not take any other actions.

An Exalted Rigger at Rigging 3 may use their charms trough the Ex Machina while they are fully immersed in the Ex Machina. In this state their dice cap is set at the lower of their Essence or their Rigging rating.
They may always analyze the sensory input of Ex Machina through the use of charms (notably Awareness and Investigation while only sharing senses)
