The Spread Shot of Alice Margatroid, the mechanical engineer (a Touhou LW original). She attacks with her gas-welding doll. Alice simply calls this gas welding, but, in fact, it's an engineering process of the far future that involves welding vaporized circuit particles, which are a type of meta-material. It's similar to printing circuit boards. This technique, which allows intricate circuit boards to be made freely and instantaneously, is made possible by Alice's doll magic.

The Focus Shot of Alice Margatroid, the mechanical engineer (a Touhou LW original). She attacks with her arc-welding doll. Alice simply calls this arc welding, but, in fact, it's an engineering process of the far future that involves building a structure by adjusting the parameters of variable-material filaments, which are a type of meta-material. It's similar to 3D printing. This technique, which allows for the production of items of any shape and with any number of properties, is made possible by Alice's doll magic.

A Spell Card of Alice Margatroid, the mechanical engineer. She launches an attack by manipulating her dolls. As a magician, Alice is proficient in all types of magic, but doll magic is by far her favorite kind to use. That holds true for this Alice, who comes from an alternate future. She can manipulate several human-shaped mechanical dolls at the same time. You might think anyone could do the same given they had the controller, but you'd most likely be wrong.

A Spell Card of Alice Margatroid, the mechanical engineer. She launches an attack by manipulating her dolls. This and Alice's other Spell Card must have existed in our world too. However, there are extraordinarily few historical documents available. You can read up on Spell Cards in the handful of grimoires and the like that still exist. But even in the grimoires, you'll find nothing written about this Alice's Spell Cards.

The Last Word of Alice Margatroid, the mechanical engineer (a Touhou LW original). She launches an attack using her magical mechanical workshop. What is magic when compared to science and technology? The boundary between them may be far more complex yet obvious than you imagine. Come to think of it, a famous science fiction writer once said something similar... For now, at least, it seems you'd do well to rid yourself of the notion that magic and science are opposed to one another and that they cannot coexist. That applies especially to the alternate future, in which it wouldn't be strange for the meanings of "magic" and "science," as well as all their connotations, to have changed drastically. This is no different from the way words from the past are used differently in the present. Even the pronunciation of some words may change over time. All of the above applies to humans, so it must surely apply to dolls too...
