Ohh magical medieval mecha...well there's a whole world of that, namely Warmachine tabletop game.
Lets see if I can find some pictures for you.
You got a whole wealth of styles there too. So the idea isn't that unusual and I wouldn't mind some technomagical stuff myself.

LOL any week now. That is anyone's best guess. But you can be assured that origin is already covered.

Did somebody say SHALE!!!
I guess I'll be the anime nerd and mention Escaflowne...
The off-beat space pirate...Capt. Stormrider (50+3 Elec/Storm Science Corruptor)
The mysterious Djinn...Emerald Dervish (50+1 DB/DA Magic Stalker)
The psychotic inventor...Dollmaster (50 Bot/FF Tech Mastermind)
Virtue Forever.
I like this idea, also, may I suggest the temp power for this pack as:
Seize Gears Incantation- Close Range (40 ft), Foe: (Special vs. Robots: Hold (Mag 3 +60% chance for +3 Mag for 15 secs), -End (50 points), -Recovery (-1000% for 30 sec)), Rech: Long (5 minutes)
The Modern Magus has learned to both master the modern arts as well as dominate them. This simple cantrip is the product of their early crusades against the Modern Era and will lock down mechanical foes and even those not completely mechanical such as Crey Powered armors or Freakshow Tanks and Champions, it will also drain them of a large portion of their power and unable to recover for some time.
Foes affected: Council and Fifth Column robots, Freakshow Champions, Juicers, and Tanks (But not enforcers or mad freaks), Arachnos robots, drones, and tarantulas (but not crab spiders), Sky Raider Jumpbots, Nemesis Jaegers, Fake Nemeses, Warhulks, Automatons, Praetorian Clockwork, and Malta titans and gun drones, and Crey Powered Armors.

Steam. Punk.

Yeah, that is included, but this would also have demon cybernetics/robotics.|

Which isn't steam punk, but is magic/tech type.
Something like this, but not so humanoid.

I am guessing you mean something like this...?

Yeah, "this" was a link to this picture, which I added to the OP.|

But yes, you are correct.
Any other suggestions for special powers to come with this?
Would a new type of travel power be out of the question? Make it a really cool but specific animation though, like ninja run...but maybe for flight?

Another idea was that possibility that you could choose between two powers with an option given like the Nemesis Staff or Black Wand vet, the alternative to Seize Gears could be something like "Technomancy" that would be a decent duration (like 20 or 30 seconds) irresistible Confusion that only effected machine enemies below EB level.|

As a third alternative, maybe a magic gun with good range, moderate energy/lethal damage with a debuff of some kind, and a decent recharge.
Four idea: Oracle LANing. A special PBAoE team Defense and ToHit Buff that increases for the number of teammates around you.

I had my signature links set wrong, they should be fixed now so hopefully we will get some more attention here.
Here is an idea you can chose one power or more powers that use two different types of enhancements, to show that you are of a mixed origin.
So, I'll reiterate some of my own views of what might be good for a magi-tech themed booster...
sorry about the BlazBlue spam...

Both look like major tech, not magic so much, especially the second one. Are they magic based? The legs on the second one looks really werd and completely impractical.

hmm... Infused..? More like "Magitech" or "Techno-magical", IMO. And if the Blazblue series is anything remotely like the Guilty Gear series, most of the uber-tech in GG is powered by a nigh-unlimited, environmentally-friendly and completely malleable energy source called Mana / Divine Power / Magic.
*tosses two cents into the hat and steps off soapbox*

Infused sounds more serious and professional, while your does get more to the point.

Magic/Technology Hybrid Origin Booster
I got this great idea from creating my Dread Gear character.
Now that we have all the origins covered with the boosters, lets get into one of the little more creative combinations, and focus on a hybrid origin that is not so common in likeness.
On the lighter end of the pack, we could also get some fantasy steam punk costume pieces on the lighter end. This could include some new steam-punk devices and maybe even robotic parts, perhaps with seam releases. Steam spurting aura. We could have junk-y and elegant looking mechanics. On the more magic side we could put in some more medieval Europe like armor, and maybe some glowing crystal power sources for the devices.
On the darken end of costume pieces we could get things like the Doom video game demons. This would be demonically shaped robotics. There could be burning and/or smoldering mechanical parts, like "Hellboy II's" Golden Army inner parts. We could add in hellish stone armor or mechanical parts. We could also have a fire/electricity hybrid aura.
As and example:
But not so humanoid.
After writing this the content looks more like 1-3 boosters, but would be really cool if this could be put into one. I don't care if I would have to pay more, like $20 or even $30 dollars. What do you think?
