Maybe the Wizards got hold of a Catgirling Machine, really early on, and adapted it to help them create all the 'magical creatures' that they want for their fandom? Then, found some of those creatures turned out to be a lot more magical than could be easily explained by handwavium and biomods?


I think I'd prefer the first generation of "magical creatures" to be one-offs, rather than produced by any sort of machine.

There is at the very least a social pressure against biomod-machines, after all - That's Something The Boskonians Do. It'll take the research project that Jenga carries out to break that prejudice... and by then it'll be too late to use machines to produce the first of the magical creatures.

IMHO.
