Sadly, none of these ideas sound quite right.

Peter's ideas are better, though perhaps too complex. And I disagree that they'd be useless outside the Mahcine City: they invaded Esrolia and founded the Machine City, after all.

Another approach: Zistor is said to be a duplicate of a god, thus he'd be able to provide a facsimile of divine magic. (This magic would likely be much as Peter speculates.)

BTW, I assume your game is during the reign of Ilotos, 901-919?
