How about this for a TW production line? It uses mostly cannon rules for TW items. I say mostly because except for a Rifter I heard about having actual real rules for making TW items, there is only the bare bones listed in the main book. The ultimate edition will supposedly correct this.
A magic nation, such as Lazlo, creates a factory for the production of one of the common types of body armor. The factory itself is powered by a Nexus point of Ley-line. That is really not the important part, what is important is what happens to the suits being made.
Lets just say the factory produced a knock-off of the Bushman armor. A half decent suit, not as much MDC as the newer types but you should live thru one or two hits from most infantry level weapons. The armor is modified with a special compartment on the back. In this small compartment are four slots much like USB ports. A second mod is the attacthment of a cylindrical compartment about the size of a two D-cell batteries. In all other repsects the body armor is identical to the standard Bushman armor offered by the Black Market or Northern Gun.
Now here comes the TW part. On a seperate assembly line you have a machine cranking out little devices that look a lot like datasticks or jumpdrives. Just instead of a little light being on the end, there is a small crystal. Inside these little items are what look like electrical circuits. They look normal but the "circuits" are in the shape of various runes. For example if you wanted to have one enchanted with Impervious to Energy, the circuit would be in the shape of the runes for Protection and Energy. The completed circuit travels down the assembly line to where Techno-Wizards are waiting. As each circuit passes by, they "Imprint" we will call it, the circuit with the spell of the appropiate type. They are then taken and installed in the waiting body armor.
Standard chips installed would be Super Human Speed, Super Human Strength, Armor of Ithan and Impervious to Energy. The suits would also be able to be easily modified for different missions. Take out the Armor of Ithan chip and put in a Swim as a Fish for underwater operations. Use a Shadowmeld chip for stealth missions.
The PPE battery would serve a dual purpose. For a magic or psychic user it would allow them to save their personal PPS or ISP for other uses. For a non-magic or Psychic user the PPE battery would power the TW circuitry. The TW enhancements could be controlled thru the built in mini-computer installed in all EBAs.
Due to the assembly line nature of the chips, they would not function at the same level. If a mage was to power the TW circuit with his own personal PPE it would function at his level. If using the PPE battery, weather a mage or non-mage, the TW enhancements would fucntion at level 1.
Something like this would be a great help to magic using nations. It would give TW creations a unprecedented flexibility and adaptibility.
