Why Of Invention
You have probably heard of a lot of “mancy” type bodies of info, or not, but mancy is sort of like the suffix “ology” in science. It is basically the same term referring to a body of knowing generally metaphysical in nature. Oneiromancy is the knowing related to dreams both divinatory interpretation and any insight…

Godlike Mind
Technomancy links back to other metaphysical systems directly by what they all have in common. The application of intelligence, and more specifically in computing you have the potential to exceed even “normal” intelligence. So potential is key? The idea that nothing is impossible.

Technomancers just focus their metaphysical practice/exploration on the technological venue.
