Unfortunately, yes. The metal I consume is automatically synthesized into magically enhanced metal. I can manipulate other metals, but not all metals are fit to be every machine. Think of the metal I generate as code-able. I can tell it what it can and cannot do. The metal that I manipulate is already coded, if we are following that analogy.

Can you tell it to not be magic?
