Ishtar

Although Ishtar bears the title mechanic his focus is less on the inner workings of physical machines and more so the lightning magic used to power those machines. Some of the more religious among the clan denounce his tinkerings, but most don't take it seriously for to ban all magic would put the clan at too great a disadvantage. As long as magic is not used in battle, it is accepted. To use magic to defeat your foe would be an abandonment of all values, to use it to enhance your natural abilities, now that is perfectly acceptable. So year after year Ishtar is granted his license to continue using magic in his studies. Although he is not the main creator of the clan's machines or robotics, his knowledge is of invaluable use to Sakira. What he contributes in theory more than makes up for his lack of practical abilities.
