Something has been bugging me for a while now. Do users of magitech devices receive some sort of generic boost? At least in the survivability department.

It has been sort of implied thus far but I must have missed it if anything about it was said in the main post.
How is this?

Equipment: The Gungnir system has two parts. The main segment is the rather hefty silver pistol that hangs at Hikaru's side. The majority of the system's functions reside within the gun, however in order for it to work properly a visual display is needed. To allow for ease of use both in and outside of battle a pair of glasses are wirelessly connected to the feed from the main weapon.

Abilities: The Gungnir system is an attempt to recreate the accuracy of the mythical spear by tapping into the same True Wisdom that Odin does. It has several fire modes, Normal, Armor Piercing, Ricochet, Machine Gun, Explosive, Tracking and Net. The amount of mana that each shot uses can be adjusted on the fly through voice commands, although a base level normal shot will use one percent of a full charge. As a Sacrifice Cauldron the weapon takes small iron ingots inserted into the handle and converts them to mana. In addition, it can allow the wearer of it's glasses to see using a limited form of True Wisdom. Due to mana and hardware reasons the wearer is limited to seeing three vision modes at a time.

I know you seem to think that a power that's not actively combat related is rather useless in a combat RPG, but give me the benefit of the doubt.

I've been RPing for years now, both here and offsite. I know what I'm doing.
Just pick a famous Japanese school and replace it with this one.
Beryl Harken-NB-A Basic Infiltration

It was certainly an odd occurrence, maybe one to be looked into later. Right now though Beryl had more important things to deal with. Quick determined steps brought her to door of the warehouse.

She looked at it and the surrounding walls. Sturdy, enough so to using the normal entrance the best option, even if it was a choke point. Stream in hand she opened the door wide.

"My name is Beryl Harken and I'm here to rescue you."
Beryl Harken-VB

A quick scan of the area revealed no other hostiles outside the warehouse as Beryl approached. She had texted the rest of the team a quick status update on her way to Napoli's location and was now behind one of the cars in the parking lot.

First step, remove the obstical between them and the warehouse.

The otter Faunus reached out with her hand and her semblance for the woman before them. People, Human or Faunus were made up of mostly the same stuff. Bones, muscles, lesser tissues...blood.

It was to this last segment of Marissa that Beryl reached out to. Specifically the blood flowing to her brain. The effects would be felt immediately. Within five seconds, more like four, the woman would pass out. Almost before she had a chance to gasp a breath that she only thought would help.

The plan after that called for Beryl to gently puppeteer the woman's body between two parked cars before laying it on the ground. Extremely distasteful actions to be sure, but it would remove her target from the line of fire and remove the main obstical currently blocking their progress forward.
I'm not entirely sure what problem you have with a player being underpowered. It's hardly going to break the game and if I end up behind the power curve that's my fault and I'm the one who will have to live with it.

As for the second piece of gear, originally all I had was a normal gun. You suggested that I needed to upgrade it a magitech weapon. Your worry about giving out more gear to some people is perfectly understandable, however my setup is apparently still underpowered so I hope it's not as much of a problem as it might be otherwise.
Updated gun.

The Judgement 12 is pretty basic. It has several fire modes, Normal, Armor Piercing, Ricochet, Explosive and Tracking. The amount of mana that each shot uses can be adjusted on the fly through voice commands, although a base level normal shot will use one percent of a full charge. As a Sacrifice Cauldron the weapon takes small iron ingots inserted into the handle and converts them to mana.
Only anime physics, I promise.
You may be underestimating what a total understanding of the kinetic energy in an area will let a person do.
I was trying not to come up with an overpowered character so I kept the gun basic. If you want I can add a few more modes and up the ammo count.

The Ravens was supposed to be based off of the myth of Odin's Eye rather than a link to the god's actual power, hence the primary drawback of only working on the area the user sees through the glasses.

After writing it out so many times I'm going to drop the s. It sounds less awkward as just The Raven.
