[OOC][Brainstorming] Intelligent Devices for non-"Lyrical Nanoha" mages

[Labster]

Right, your example would probably be Penny Polendina, the an artificial life form that can manifest an Aura.  Otherwise you're looking at magic item type stuff, limited utility and use per day.

I can't think of all that many examples of nonbiologicals straight up casting magic in fiction.  Possibly Ifurita?  (It's been a long time since I saw that show).  Luna-P seems more like it's a Device itself.

Regarding artificial mages... Yeah, once Penny shows up and Washu gets enough data to science the shit out of it (she's also studying the Midchildan/Belka devices as well as the Puella Magi's soul gems), she'll probably be able to create artificial linker cores for whoever needs/wants one.

Jossed in V7:E7. Well, kind of. This is also how children work. Now 100% sure Pietro Polendina is based on Gepetto.
