:lonegunman: Arther C. Clarke said at one time that Technology and magic at advanced levels is indistinguishable from each other.
Railgun - Take a ring of stone or alloy (electrum is better for funneling magic. Have several runes on one side of the interior opening with Accio pemenantly etched into it. Have ones on the other side with depulso (banish). String togeher several score in a carbon-fiber and plastic mounting and vola railgun. :flameon: For a smallbattle field version in 40mm powered by cartridge style loadstone in the base with a multi-feed mecchanisim with several types of ammo. Said ammo storage having space expansion and permenat lightning charms to make single ten pound ammo can hold several hundred rounds of 40x160mm spell cannisters and explosives in simple fin stabalized shells. Weapon is good for several hundred meters at least. or can have extender put on for greater/velocity as needed. First time its used in battle the purists would ban it and the muggleborn embrace it. America would have scores wth their Rapid Response Magical Regiments. Mounted on the air-jeep.
Whats an air-jeep. Think flat-bottomed twelve man skiff in steel (or a special forces fast boat) with a amidships drivers position a forward gun tub (railgun) and its own loadstone/dragonheartstring powering the magic carpet based flght spells. Can we say air-cavalry? ::blink:
Two-seat gunship version. Fully enclosed armored cockpit. Has very braod weapons plylons. a railgun in front (or just plain old 30mm canon or gatling guns) but weapons plylons in the under wing storage positions can be retracted to reload up to three times from interior weapons bays. :jawdrop:
All use magic t power apparently technological effects or allow 'muggle' forms of attack. Plus both the skiff and Gunship can be portkeyed if powered from a loadstone. :evil:
Think of thje carnage in using mages for troops (trained in cross-over spec-ops tactics and some firearms) backed by these two relatively simple platforms could do to the purists and even whole nations.
The Purists wouldn't know what hit them. Especially if the gunships used ward breaking ammunitions (runes scribed sappers) onthe first pass and a skiff set up seige line wards around the property to prevent apparition, portkey, owl and floo. :flameon: :blink:
This is technomancery...
