One support-type module and one weapon-type.
Blackaeronaut: I'm more excited about the lack of eyestrain than anything else. Ability to skip sleep is a survival skill- not something I'd use regularly. I like my sleep! As for food, I need more than most, if only to power magic.
And I would probably have upped the ante by making sure that each modular add-on has its own sub-processing core.. and, if possible, even it's own power supply. I'd probably even freak Jail out a bit by designing a few mass-weapons. 'Cause AMFs aren't enough of a bitch without adding slug throwers into the mix. *Cackles*
The maraschino cherry on top would be the capability to store a set number of modular add-ons for quick and easy access in the heat of battle.
Certainly, the jobs these modules do may be performed by a certain spell... but the advantage is that I wouldn't even have to prime the spell. I'd just have to say 'go'.
And this schpiel I've been going on would be just the tip of the iceberg. I'd be spending weeks at a time engineering, designing, testing, and eventually producing these modules. And all with the rabid fascination of an obsessive compulsive perfectionist on crack.
As for food... I'd eat like Goku. "And to think, he doesn't even need to digest it right away!"
