For what it's worth, Space Mage probably isn't the best to recruit for a serious engineering project. She's a technophile, but definitely a user rather than someone who actually knows how to pop the case off something.
Furthermore, in D&D terms, she's more a Sorcerer than a Wizard - she doesn't actually cast defined spells, she just warps magic to her will. And most of what she does taps on the rather nebulously defined 'collective force of human creativity'. The offshoot of this is, she never does the same magic trick the same way twice. Not exactly. True, she can make magic items much more easily than most any other magic-user. She just needs to visualize it, and it happens.
The thing is...while said item would almost certainly work, the devil's in the details. There's the question of what else the item would do, especially if the original intent was...not precise.
They're not bugs, they're undocumented features.
(Example: I'm not sure if he's decided on a different backstory, but at one point Rev Dark proposed that Space Mage might have accidentally created Sen Sen Mew Mew. And if you've teamed with Rev's catgirl, you'll...see how much of a scary prospect that is.)
