Oh -- and here's the alternative from my homebrew setting.

Spell Stones are specifically said to be usable by nonmages. They're one-use, but not terribly expensive for a 1-FP spell, which can be Q&D'd. ($50/stone, plus whatever an hour's work from a couple of enchanters costs in your area. A 2-FP stone is $120 and can be Q&D'd with four enchanters. As it happens, the gem requirements are cheaper in that setting but this isn't relevant to you.)

The locals put these in lightning repeaters, which have a simple gearing system that crushes a spell stone and chambers a new one. The aiming can use Guns/TL3^ (lightning repeater) instead of Innate Attack (spell). RoF 1, RcL 0, Acc 0, attack stats as per the spell in the stone. Quirk of the Concentration maneuver, of course, says they can't be double-wielded.
