Thinking a bit more about this bit from the OP. The concept of PC designed (as opposed to player-designed) magic systems is a potentially interesting one. Perhaps mana (or sanctity, or spirits) already exists, and the gadgeteers develop ways to take advantage of it. Perhaps it doesn't, and they superscience up a magic system or systems that won't need it (e.g. psi powers). The question is what would be believable for them to think of (along with what the GM would allow, which is highly variable)?
