Sure RP what you like, but to argue that this set could fit any theme other than robotic, because you have a vivid enough imagination, is still far-fetched.
Didn't the old D&D have Magic Missiles, though?

I should also add to this by pointing out that Missile is technically just another word for "projectile" and could mean anything from a thrown rock, a fired bullet, a Molotov Cocktail, or even a rocket powered, guided explosive.

Magical laser beams? It's all energy damage in the end with the game. And magic can have a lot of different looks.
That's the funny thing about magic that shows like Sabrina, Magister Magi Negima, and other such things have come to embrace and bring to surface Clarke's Third Law

It doesn't HAVE to be a suit of armor. Rockslide, a mutant affiliated with the X-Men's junior team is a mutant made of rocks that can disconnect his arms and launch them. Kane, also from Marvel, comes from the same Weapon X program that made Wolverine. He has cybernetic hands that he can launch.

I suppose you could also wield magic gauntlets.

This is all well and good, but it all boils down to how the power looks now doesn't it? Unless the devs make different themed animations for the entire set, it's still going to be Cybornetic (read: Robotic).
