Someone who specializes in a combination of technology and elemental magics.

Some ideas of a Bit Caster.
  • Summons mechanical minions enchanted by a selection of elements to carry out the Bit Casters bidding.
  • Uses a mechanical platform as means of travel across long distances.
  • Could summon a mechanical dome completely shielding the Bit Caster from harms way under heavy fire for a short period of time.
  • Could conjure a projectile time bomb to eliminate enemies from long distance.
  • Each spell of a Bit Caster would have the ability to be customized. The character could choose an element to infuse with each of the mechanical creations giving each spell a variety of different affects.
// Just made that up as I went along... I might use this idea in one of my games. :)

Sounds like nano-technician and/or meta-physicist professions from Anarchy Online
Stop trying to ruin my happiness! I wanted it to be original. :|

Engineers are purely mechanics. No elemental magics involved.

Biologists/ Genectic Engineer or Microgenetic Engineer....


They modify the DNA, splice it back into the host egg/bacteria, then the effect happens ;)
