I'm a member of a secretive sect founded in the 17th century and with the arcane arts I've learned from our order's secret tomes, such as Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica I can determine the motion of celestial bodies centuries into the future, bring a semblance of life to inanimate objects with fire, and even conjure lightning.
Secretive, eh? I'd like to do the fire thing.
The novice-initiate must use a crude combination of Earth, Fire, Air, and Water to animate the inanimate. By placing the Air and Water inside a vessel of Earth, and applying the Fire, one can transmute the water into air, creating a false breath of life to the automaton. Consult the works of Thomas Newcomen, a pyromancer of the early 18th century, if you wish to delve into these mysteries.
Should I use it for good, or for awesome...?
The Pyromancer Newcomen used it for extracting water from the deep caves that their hidden treasures might be uncovered... you can also use it to make massive metal snakes a mile long that cross a continent in mere days and can hold within their bowels thousands of tons of material... which does fill one with awe, thus 'awesome', I advise more humble initial attempts though... also one can use a similiar process to brew a potion of stamina, first known to have been used in Sufi shrines of Yemen, made principally from a bean cultivated chiefly in Colombia.
