gollark: Well, in my headcanon, the system was never designed to be "magic" but is a relic from a more advanced civilisation which can self-repair a decent amount.
gollark: Oh wait, you can, have the system also have a bunch of robotic lifeforms tied into it but make them weird lifeishly and call them "elementals".

gollark: Some trees contain power distribution for them.
