Been away for only a day and suddenly an automation discussion has exploded.

Honestly, I'm not against all these advanced weaponry as long as they come with the supposed logical hurdles. If you're going to make some mega airship, the only people capable of building it would be those with really high masteries and you'll subsequently need high level mats. Then there's also the problem of non-allied races sitting there and just watching you make something that potentially rapes the shit out of them :P so while not very practical, it is possible. It's not like Lephrechauns are the race the only ones with such op potential though, Cait Sith could potentially tame the powerful beasts of Jotunheim as well and so on and so forth.

I will be forwarding the plot soon as well.
