Mazaq here is a mechanic with the Spell Chip Understanding mechanic trick from Galactic Magic. As soon as I saw that trick, I knew I wanted to build a character around it.
Using spell chips is the same as using spell gems, and all spells are considered to be on his class list, so he can pick any spell! Chips can be slotted into any computer, so he has a Tier 1 Computer with miniaturization attached to a Standard Datajack routed into his exocortex. He doesn't need to draw the chips as a spellcaster would a spell gem because they're already inserted into the computer that's connected to his brain.
Yes, they cost credits, and he's essentially a prepared caster rather than spontaneous since he's only got so many of each chip. He can't craft them himself, yet. But he can cherry pick from all the class lists, can cast as a standard action without having to manipulate anything, and is still a viable mechanic. He's been fun so far, and it's an unusual build that's neither over- nor under-powered.
