A '''machine spirit''' is what the [[Imperium]] refers to as the inner workings and automated systems within their technology. These are distinct from forbidden [[A.I.]], as unlike the former Machine Spirits lack the ability to enhance themselves.{{Fn|3}} The maintenance and functioning of Machine Spirits in all Imperial technology is overseen by the [[Tech-Priest]]s of the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]].{{Fn|6}}
