[#]writever Silicone
"Just like golems were made of clay, soap or wax, golems can be made of silicone. But every matter has a nature, and the chemical silicon element makes for a golem that will only accept instructions which are perfectly logical."

[#]writever Mouth
“Do you know why as soon as they can they stuff a gag in witches' mouths? Not to stop them casting spells, no. Only so they don't have to hear what they say. They're afraid of their freedom of speech.”

[#]writever Interface
Their whole life, mediums stand at the interface between the worlds of the living and of the dead. When a medium dies, they naturally place themselves at the interface between the worlds of the dead and of the deader yet.

[#]writever Feedback
"We received alien feedback from our first transgalactic hyperwave message. Several, in fact."
“Wow, curb your enthusiasm… Do we know what these answers say?”

[#]writever Prosthetics
“We can fit you with genital prosthetics, but frankly, if you're smart, you'll choose a limbic lobe neural stimulator instead. Your partner will much prefer frequent care to occasional performance."

For a metamorphic mutant, taking the shape of a species with a different number of limbs is difficult; for instance, a human is not used to walinkg on six legs. Curiously, magic métamorphs do not have this problem.

"This Knight's idea to send a robot fight in his stead was good as such," said the Princess.

[#]writever Eye
I could have gone the integral cyborg way, but a biological body is definitely more resilient, all told. I do have an artificial eye, though. Its visible spectrum spreads from radio waves to gamma rays, which is useful for a space pilot.

“The Dragon asked me to replace him,” said the Princess.
“No Princess can replace a Dragon,” asserted the Knight.

In magic, speed is of the essence. The speed at which a spoken spell can be uttered, or the speed at which the hand can weave a gesture spell. And when all else fails, the speed at which one can flee.

"Er... Your personal address is a box number within a storage company?"

For his own protection, a Wizard hides his name behind a nickname and his face behind a mask. As my nockname, I chose my real name, and on my mask, I painted my own face. So far, everyone has failed to uncover my secret.
