>Dehumanize yourself to humanize the inanimate.

Huh. I always saw the paradox in Mechanomancy as being "Build the future
(robots) by destroying/using the past (built with "ancient" materials,
powerd by memories". I guess that just makes the school even better :)

> Anyhow, paradox is important.

And that is the most difficult part of coming up with a good school. Great
ideas and cool "scenes" and stuff are easy to come up with, a solid paradox
is hard. It usually seems to come up directly in the school's mechanics by
getting charges, since charges represent the "did X" part of "Do X to do Y"
paradoxes.
