The Technomancer's Fabricate Arms Magic Hack can be used to temporarily make a set of armor out of magic energy. Whatever item you create with it usually comes into being already equipped. But what happens if the Technomancer tries to create armor while still wearing another set?

Does the Magic Hack simply fail? Would that still consume the spell slot?
Does one of the sets fall into a nearby space instead?
Does the normal set get magically sent into a temporary storage space until the Magic Hack ends?
Do both sets "overlap" and the character applies some statistics from one and some from the other (like wearing light armor while in a powered armor)? If that's the case, can one create a set of heavy armor while wearing powered armor and get benefits from both?
Or would it be some other option?

Fabricate Arms says "The quality of the item is average for its type."

Maybe that's meant to say it can't have any upgrades or customization? Not sure.

I thought this was for the crafting rule. When you craft items yourself they are considered to be of higher level than the standart object.

Oh, that makes sense.

If it was 1.5 times the cost there would be no reason to transfer fusions at all. You'd just buy new ones.

Well, there is the rare chance that you're stuck somewhere without access to a merchant or crafter, and you want to transfer a fusion to some better loot you just found. It wouldn't happen often, but there's at least some chance. If they really did mean for it to be 50%, then paying 100% for high-level-gear fusions makes "no sense".

I don't think either option works well, but assuming it's 150% at least doesn't make the default option sound stupid while still having some niche where it might be considered.

Given how they mention it's "fairly expensive", I'd guess they meant to say "half again as much" instead of "half as much".

Sorry for the necro but I'm wondering

1) if you cast this when an archer starts shooting ta you, they're blocked right?
2) would this interrupt a charge?

It grants only Cover, not Total Cover, so you can still be targeted.
