I have been thinking about this idea (non-Mamono non-girly Golems/Automatons/Robots).

We do know magitech exist in-universe (the Gremlins build them).

We do know that it is possible to created devices that attract and concentrate enviromental DE (the Jiangshi paper talisman does just that).

We do know that it is posible to create magitech devices that concentrate, condense and refine Mana (the Golems have such internal devices).

We do know that Golems (and presumably Automatons) run on Mana.

So, could a wizard/artifacer build non-humanoid, non-sentient magitech devices that use enviromental DE as fuel and don't turn into Mamono? Washing mashines, trucks, cement mixers, cranes, bulldozes, tractors, motorboats, cars, pumps, drills, chainsaws...etc.

And what about non-rapey DE-powered Golems/Automatons/Robots? Could they exist?
