    In my head it has always been something along the lines of "to affix materia to an armor you need to understand how it is made". I might want to power up my computer, speed up my car, improve my lamp or dishwasher, but if i have no idea how these are actually put together or how they're actually made then i can't improve upon it. I know how electricity works in theory, but could i build or improve a turbine to produce it? nope. I know how a motherboard functions, but could i build one or improve it? again nope.

    I understand what you mean.

    Going with the real world examples; if I buy a new car then come home and put my old car in a machine that that reduces the whole thing to a magic vapor and turns said vapor into a little crystal ball that can make my new car 10% faster, I doubt whether or not I can understand the articles in Popular Mechanics makes a difference in my ability to do more magic alterations.

    That's why I brought up the descriptions of the key items. The melder and assimilatot are their own tools, despite the animations.

    What do I need to know about cars to take some magic matter and use a melder to fuse my magic Speed +10% crystal, which used to be a whole car, onto my new car?

    If anything, I'd suggest melding be its own class.

    That's not a real world example.
