Technomancers are more than just skilled technicians. They are in tune with machines, connecting with them not only on an intellectual but a spiritual level and having mastered the art of Nanotechnology. Through this, they have leaned to infuse their bodies with microscopic robots. The nanobots replenish themselves in the Technomancers body. They seek fulfilment by putting their efforts into analysing and creating items. Other spellcasters often look upon them with amusement or exasperation, as he shows little interest in perfecting his spellcasting abilities.

Useful tools, weapons, and especially magical constructs and clockwork machines whose operation lies in the manipulation and containment of powerful magic.

| Techno Heal | 10 | The nanites can be directed to limit damage to the body, by directing the blood away from wounds, releasing medicaments and building alternative blood vessels and nerves to circumvent injuries. If everything else fails they douse the brain in neuroprotectants and lower the body temperature, to allow a cryogenic suspension. The recipient heals twice as fast as normal. The nanites also map the body and all the cells and then try to maintain the body by killing tumourus cells, executing gene therapies, repairing slightly damaged organs and destroying all possibly toxic waste products (e.g. free radicals). They grant a bonus to all checks against illnesses and poisons. However it cannot return the Technomancer from the dead, nor can it re-grow or reattach severed limbs. |
