Genesis is the art of manipulating living things' Essence patterns to control and create life. It's used in advanced forms of medicine.
Magitech is about manipulating magical life.
Two types of magitech creatures were common in the West. The first were obviously sea creatures. The second were flying creatures. Both worked on similar principles of motion through a fluid element and flying creatures could quickly span the gaps between isolated settlements on the ocean.
A Warstrider makes a wearer perfectly adapted to the environment the substance suits. Wood Jade is formed into creatures that live in the forest. Adapting to using a Warstrider is handled by it's animating intelligence. The essence of magitech is making an object of one of the magical materials with a spirit, either a little god or a elemental, making it alive and intelligent in a limited fashion. Royal Warstriders carry an Awakened Animating Intelligence. Such a being is able to make command decisions on it's own not just carry them out like the intelligences of lesser magitech.
