Additionally Fyron I think you should think about renaming the psychotropic drugs, multiplex tracking, and combat sensors, and anything else that may need renaming before I make pics for them.
Other than psychotropic drugs, components like these without magic-sounding names are components for which I was unable to think of any good ideas... Suggestions are welcome.

As for psychotropic drugs, I don't see any reason why magic-weilding races couldn't concoct such substances with alchemical processes, possibly aided by a bit of magic.

And while I'm at it I have the first weapon pic, the Prismatic Sphere:
Opinions?
Very nice. However, when reduced to a 36x36 mini, the bright white parts seem to take over, resulting in a component that will look rather detracting when shown with all of the other components on a ship. It looks good as is for the portrait image, but the mini just looks like a big white glob, losing much of the cool swirly effects in the upper hemisphere. Perhaps the white part in the top central area could be changed to a different color, or reduced in area, so that there is more pink between the white regions?

Could you make a "Torpedo" combat image for this, so that the prismatic sphere will have an appropriate display when fired in combat?

Additionally I've been sitting on this one for a while, I figure I might as well post it and see what you guys had to say. It a possiblity for the Contingency Spell:
Opinions?
Hmm... This definitely has an even more pronounced brightness takeover affect for the 36x36 mini than the primsatic sphere image. The D&D contingency spell that the devices were based off of essentially finishes the casting of another spell, prepared at the time of the casting of the contingency, when a specified event occurs. Not entirely certain how this would translate visually to the SE4 entity... Perhaps some sort of archaic looking device with glowing runes etched on it?
