Malifica
Malifica is a forbidden class of technology and science within the Imperium which deals with the study and manipulation of the energies of either the Warp or psychic powers. Whilst the warp is considered a necessary evil to the Imperium, this field of study is seen as both dangerous and volatile. Malifica includes the melding of Daemonic spirits with machinery as well as channeling the raw power of the Warp through technology. Such technology has long been considered forbidden by the Adeptus Mechanicus, as those reckless or insane enough to be tempted by these dark experiments find themselves being offered creativity that is beyond that of reason or the bonds of the universe's physical laws.
The heretek cult known as the Logicians have been known to pursue examples of Malifica.[1]
