M.A.N.I.A.C. Project

The Mystical Analytical Numerator + Integrated Actuating Computer or M.A.N.I.A.C. Project is a series of specialized government experiments and R & D sessions into developing what will become the world's first digitized grimoire (e.g. spell book) The Department of Mystic Affairs and Endeavors came up with the idea during their 14th budget session when the need to create a compact, shared database of all magical powers and objects around the world into a category known as "Living Data".
In turn, the living data can become digitized from spell books and omnibuses straight into convenient data, indistinguishable from the source material. The first M.A.N.I.A.C. tablet known as "Cassiopeia", powered by the INDIS OS system, was capable of executing complex spells and transformations. Future Generations like "EKON", "HAWAII" and "INTEGRA" came to be each with their own characteristics on what spells are used. But all M.A.N.I.A.C. tablets have these common features:
* Hyper-teleprocessing
* Flubbed Spell Countermeasure
* Kill Switch
* Remote Connect
