"A stunning incident occurred today where people are reporting a spate of encounters with glowing lights. The lights have been noted to take on the forms of cars, inanimate objects and even people and animals."

"Currently, it is still unknown as to the source of the lights as there have been no unusual energy readings in the area and local mages report detecting no magic being cast before the appearance of the lights."

News report from the state of Missouri during Friday the 13th. Internal reports from the Arasaka Research and Development Office detail the event to be the results of a prank played by an Arasaka tester in a Model 2003-E Magician Power Armour.

Arasaka Model 2003-E 'Magician' Power Armor
Electronic Warfare is a key factor on the modern battlefield these days along with the fact that magic is also playing an increasingly large part as well.

Arasaka saw a way to create a new type of EW power armor that could affect the newest super-technology and affect magic-users as well and the founder, Kenichi Arasaka, also wanted to utilize nanotechnology to fulfill both functions.

The Model 2003-E was designed around the prospect that this suit had to stay out of the line of fire and conduct its mission away from the actual fighting and no expense was spared to create the 2003-E as a fully stealth-capable system, utilizing Electronic Concealment Systems, Radar Absorbent Materials and Ferro-plastics to create a very light and agile suit.

To use Nanotechnology as the primary mission equipment, the Magician contains two self-contained semi-intelligent nano-colonies which are trained alongside the user to perform their duties and company psychologists have noted that the nanomachines perform better if a psychological bond is formed between the user and the machines.

When the nanomachines are engaged, two circular sections rise up and begin to spin to properly disperse the nanomachines into the air, the nanomachines then begin to coalesce into small spheroids and move to perform their duties, attaching to machinery and interfacing with the communications systems to actively jam transmissions or attaching to magic-users and creating a disruptor field.

Another unique feature of the nanomachines is their ability to gather energy and create a solid-hologram replication of anything the suit user directs the nanomachines to copy, with all of their full combat abilities, allowing the Magician to battle enemies at range while using its stealth systems to keep out of danger by copying the enemy or using the nanomachines to focus energy and fire off powerful energy blasts.

However, should it be necessary for the Magician to fight, the suit may engage a powerful plasma beam system to fend off attackers.

'Magic Hive' Nanomachine Colony System:
The Magic Hive NCS is the main component of the Magician's success, containing untold trillions of nanomachines in a semi-intelligent colony linked to the suit user's mental and voice commands.

When activated, two hatches lift up and begin to spin, a distinct blue glow indicating the activation of the system and once engaged, it begins to disperse the nanomachines into the air, where they then begin to move towards various targets assigned by the suit, which can often be up to nine kilometers away.

The Magic Hive nanomachines can also copy objects using a solid-hologram field that can take on the exact appearance and textures of the original and can focus their energy into powerful energy blasts, meaning that the Magician can escape while leaving behind deadly decoys for the enemy.

$980,050; price includes training to bond with and control the nanomachines.
