The "Synthetic Brains" Beltira had created... honestly, even Gawain himself had been startled when he first saw them. After all, they carried the unmistakable aesthetic of The End of All Things; from their principles to their appearance, they were wickedly bizarre. If one of those things floated onto a battlefield, both sides would easily assume it had been sent by the enemy...
Yet after getting used to the aesthetic of the Synthetic Brains, Gawain quickly began considering their practical value.
Dark Flesh Regeneration Technique could be used to heal the wounded, and terrifying Nightmare Spell could be used to build Neural Networks. Technology had no inherent good or evil, nor should its morality be judged by its "aesthetic." Since Beltira had successfully created something safe and reliable, it was necessary to consider whether it had a place in Cecil's current industrial system—and clearly, it did.
After carefully analyzing the nature of the Synthetic Brains, Gawain quickly realized this: this technology could fill the largest remaining gap in Cecil's magic-powered technology tree, namely the fields of automation and intelligence.
Gawain had never found a breakthrough in this field. He knew what earth-shaking changes automation and intelligence could bring to an industrial society, and he knew they would be an indispensable part of future Magic Industrial development. Yet neither he nor the scholars of the Magic-Powered Technology Department had any idea where to begin.
Technical Personnel had once considered traditional mage puppets or Tower Spirit technology, but those things were even more of a black box than the old Message Spell. They were incredibly difficult to decipher, and the related projects had made no progress whatsoever to this day. Yet no one had expected the breakthrough to come from another direction—Wetware Hosts.
Gawain had countless exciting ideas about those incredible Synthetic Brains.
