The maholoids were created as multipurpose combat mage units. Unlike other mage units, they can be adapted for either mid- or close range combat, and even long-range. They possess enhanced crystal tissue to give them larger mana pools and powerful mana generators enhanced with crystallized dragon's blood for extra production.
While fully capable of firing spells from their hands or transforming their arms into cannons, they are often equipped with a wand, staff, or sword to channel their magic. An advanced crystal computational possessor gives them access to a wide range of spells on the fly. However, they may have mana matrices installed for specialized spells.
They are often equipped with fuku bits, which take the form of a skirt when docked. These are flat tools that can detach and fly around to aid in spells. They can boost the effects of her spells, fire light spells independently, or form energy barriers.
The maholoids were built and bred to be malleable. They have additional space to add in systems to grant them special powers. Like with most of the cyberized warriors, the arms have slots to install matrices for certain enchantments and spells. The casing can also be removed and replaced for specialization. By default ,they have mid-range blasters, but they could be switched for hand-to-hand combat knuckles, which give them enhanced strength, or weapons for long range. These and others can be switched out for whatever tools the mission calls for.
The wellspring of fusion was unavailable during the development of the maholoids, so the wellspring of transformation was used as a substitute. They are sometimes paired with a robotized familiar, which is capable of morphing into armor and being equipped to the maholoid.s In rare cases, they could become weapons instead. The unified energies produce increased strength and speed. However. this is often accompanied by increased mana burn. Different familiars can be equipped for different situations and environments, making them very versatile fighters.
In the early stages of development, a hyper mode was created. They would undergo a small transformation and receive increased abilities. However, this mode also had a high mana burn, even moreso then equip mode. Without a high mana pool, the power was short lived. As such, it is normally sealed away.
I got the idea from a random picture of a robot girl posted on a Discord. It looked like it might fit in with Lilly's robotized army, similar to the cyvespas and other models I haven't come up with. Lilly does need a diverse military and I was already planning on giving it a spell casting type. I still got to get around to writing the story where these are introduced.
I am a big fan of the funnels from the Gundam franchise. I often try to come up with satellite weapons for different things. I mainly struggle with how to attach them. Below is the alt version, where the fuku bits are deployed.
