I can't. If anything this actually makes things easier by allowing you to build a magic machine directly from a science machine (instead of from an alchemy engine), and it's a lot easier to build than a shadow manipulator.

Sure it doesn't unlock as much stuff as the shadow manipulator, but it unlocks some useful stuff - you get the fire staff and the life giving amulet sooner for starters. Also they put the ice staff under magic, which makes sense (it always bothered me it was too easy to get before, and it didn't really make sense having it come from the alchemy engine).

For those who whinge about the magic stuff - I kind of agree to a point, since I prefer "sciency" things. The thing is, why weren't you whinging when they introduced the ice staff way back when? Didn't say anything about magic then did you? Hypocrites! Given the freaky setting of the world, some magic makes sense, nothing wrong with it.

I do wish they'd quit with the freaking amulets and staffs though. They should come up with something more original than amulets/staffs all the time, I'm sick of them! It's also unfortunate that the more original stuff is either hardly made due to rarity of materials (e.g. pan flute) or hardly ever made because it's a completely useless piece of shit (one-man band, night light).
