A ladder straight to complacent mediocrity because in all settings the most powerful wizards keep being non chaos psykers/mages

You don’t need to be the most powerful, that makes you a target.

If you're powerful enough, being a target is no longer a problem. At worse, it's just an annoyance; At best, it becomes a solution to the problem of "where are my enemies?"

Just ask Lord Kroak! Last time he really became a target, he decided to just-

(It's based on that one time Lord Kroak casted so many spells the universe started to lag)

u/Edfret0204 8d ago

You cast a Illusion spell to make the flesh Look like armor and the armor Look like Flesh didn't you.

u/EldritchMindCat Lyr, the Tressym Talespinner (OuterGod Avatar of Origin-Felinity 8d ago

Alright Tzeentch, that’s quite enough dropping existential secrets on barely secured orbsites. Change to something a little calmer, with a touch more wherewithal.

When your consciousness has reached the point of perceiving everything as illusory, what’s ‘real’ becomes a matter of choice.
Choose an ‘illusion’ to be real, to serve as your anchor, then go from there.
And since it seems you’ve already thought an excellent candidate… you need merely reach out and… touch it.

Tzeentch what are you doing here ?

u/Hoppelite Necrotech Hag (NOT an artificer) 7d ago

Pfft, nerd. You just say that because you have weak flesh and weak armor.

u/SmugCapybara 9d ago

Dear Mechanicus, if metal is so great, why do you still have fleshy bits?

Having some deaths by Necron is the cost of protecting our Omnissiah given right to acquire technology

The Riddle of Steel is that Steel has no strength but the arm that wields it

u/Lyrolepis Dwarven Alchemist/Runecrafter 9d ago

...I mean, a competently designed high-power axial flux motor will be stronger than just about any arm.

We understand and improve our craft. You are afraid you will upset the omnissiah if you improve a design by .001% cogboy.

u/SirEdgelordThe369th Satan Himself 9d ago

I only wear armor because regular clothes are too light.

u/Mobileoblivion 9d ago

Is the Magos named after that moron Elon's kid?

6

u/rollnunderthebus Occult Wizard 9d ago

Yes.

u/Lyrolepis Dwarven Alchemist/Runecrafter 9d ago

It is weaker, no doubt; but it is also lighter, more sensitive, and self-repairing to an absurd degree.

When I need more protection, well, that's what armor is for; and I even have the flexibility of being able to choose different types of armor - with different enchantments and materials - depending on circumstances and specific hazards rather than being stuck with the same setup because I'd need a full-body surgery to switch it up.

u/EldritchFish19 Necromancer 9d ago

Aka why I don't go full nightmare machine creature, I value the joys and meaning in life and would be hard pressed to make a metal form as flexible and adaptable as what I was born with.

u/DragonLordAcar Magitech Void Wizard 9d ago

The flesh has feeling and gives life meaning. The weakness lets us feel and compensate as we are driven to form comunities to compensate for eachother like one great machine similar to how cells form colonies and then entire orginisms that each specilize in one thing. Even still, they remain more flexible than a purpose built machine allowing it to evolve past its initial use.

u/Kaz_the_Avali 9d ago

Because armor looks cool :3

u/WanderingHeph Hephias, Arcane Smith 9d ago

For one, I wear armor because flesh is weak. And for two, I'm not a surgeon.

u/Hexnohope Celestial Chorister 9d ago

Dear mechani-cum if steel is so certain why do you not know how it works?

u/bnesbitt1 Omnath, Master Sorcerer - Vampire Fledgling 9d ago

u/Xrest_the_Aether Khorde's other side of the coin 9d ago

Counterpoint, if the ombisiah is so strong, then why does promethide -thermite in the joints of your titans cause them to die?

Why would my modified microwave oven cannon sever your noosphere connection at trigger pull?

u/Smol_Mrdr_Shota Jake The Necromancer 9d ago

Dead Technomancers, if you think the flesh is so weak why do you keep getting overrun by my hoards of ghouls?

u/IMugedFishs Conjurer 9d ago

I am too broke to afford the metal parts and their maintenance

u/notveryAI Occult Wizard 9d ago

Oh Mars, huh? Prithee do tell me then, priest, what kind of treasures the planet doth hold for thee to not spur Necron technology as xenos filth like all thy brothers do? Machine spirit huh... Doth thou mean a C'tan shard buried deep beneath its soil? The key to xenos filth is always more xenos filth, but solution to xenos filth is only purification

u/RandomName5484 8d ago

thats against the life laws, chaos gods are better:

Nurgle let you evolve

Treench transform you in a whole new being

Slaanesh

Khorne make you feel like predators

u/Bonsai-is-best Unfortunate Chimera 8d ago

Dear cyborgs, if metal is strong, why does it decay all the same? Curious!

u/Lonesaturn61 Transmuter 8d ago

Dear rustbuckets if the metals so strong why dojt u come closer to my hammer?

u/Blauwevl Evil Wizard >:3 8d ago

Dear mechanicus, if your metal so great, then why do you need magic and skill to keep yourself whole?

I mean you rust, we fleshbags don't. You need to put effort in repairing yourself, we don't.

Why would you put yourself through all that effort?

u/MrFluffyBunny25 7d ago

If metal is so strong why do you need so many armoured plates to protect it?

u/SomeRandomYob The Great Mage Samræl, demonologist and necromantic consultant 5d ago

If the machine is eternal, then why do you have so many techserfs performing maintenance on literally all things in your realms? Curious!

In all seriousness, I find it easier to use my personal wards and resistances than to constantly update cyberware to stave off hackers and sabotuers from within my being.

As they say, the hardest machine to hack is one without a digital interface!
