Mechanical Symbiosis

Mechanical Symbiosis (機械仕掛け共生, Kikaijikake Kyōsei) is a form of Take Over, despite its namesake — that allows one to essentially and permanently "take over" any mechanical or technological structure, using it as if its an extension of their beings; this would include those of the Machina race or metallic creations with a sentient consciousness. It's also something that's been recently discovered in the modern era — thus doesn't have many users, as information about it hasn't spread to the general populace. It's alternatively referred to as Take Over: Automaton Soul (, Teiku Ōbā: Ōtomaton Sōru; lit. "Confiscation: Advanced Technological Override Function") — for the sake of naming convenience.

The form was something that was recently discovered by the scientists of the Magic Council, having been accidentally conceived through a series of experiments gone horribly wrong, all in order to bring about a new evolution in modern technology. It's later classified as one the "Lesser Take Overs" (, Ressā Teiku Ōbā; lit. "Weaker Extemporaneous Confiscations"), due to it's power being severely weaker than other known forms; however, it's also considered to be the most versatile — capable of evolving and adapting at an exponential rate when used in-tandem with magics such as Archive and Deus Ex Machina. In a sense, this form of Take Over has the most potential out of all the others.

A detail that's aforementioned, this variant doesn't have many users because of its recent discovery; those who can use it, however, are said to be those under the control of the Magic Council's scientific division and counted as one their many "test subjects" — said variant still under study and experimentation.

 * This is mainly based off of Wahl Icht's Assault Mode from canon, alluding to the various possibilities the Machina race possesses. In a sense, this article is seen as an interpretation, given how it can be used with other magics of a similar nature
