It's not that they're opposing forces... They just don't mix
that well :) . I thought this was a good idea, since it prevents
"Eternal Magic Batteries", mass-produced artifacts and tanks equipped
with Wands of Disintegration instead of cannons from poping up (GURPS
Technomancer has that kind of stuff, if you're interested).
That doesn't mean you can't mix both flavors, just that it's a
lot harder to do it, and you end up treasuring the end result more. You
can call an ally spirit to inhabit a gun, or your car, or even a
cyberdeck. A mage calls an entity from the outer planes, a shaman
awakens the object's soul, and so on. It's damn hard to do (summoning an
ally usually is :) ), but possible.
You can also enchant a high tech object to work as a focus.
