Magical Aerial Redirection (M.A.R.)

If you cast a projectile spell at M.A.C., it can take a reaction to redirect the attack to another direction with full range that the M.A.C. can see. In this case, a projectile spell is any spell that originates from the caster to a specific point. For example, if you cast Cannon Ball on the M.A.C. from 300 ft, it can take the reaction, "Aerial Redirection", to redirect the cannonball left of itself. This cannon ball can go up to 300 ft, your choosing. 

Advanced Aerial Magical Use (A.A.M.U.)

Aerial Utilize. During a long rest or a short rest, you can fit a magic item for the M.A.C. to use. It can use this magic item as if it were an Artificer Spell Caster. If the wand allows the M.A.C. to cast a spell, it does this by taking the Magic Action on its turn. For example, if you gave the M.A.C. a wand of magic missile, it can use the wand to cast magic missile as a magic action on its turn up to level 3, your choice, on to an enemy that it can see. 

Improved Firepower. The turret and repair actions get an additional 2d6 to add to damage or healing. 

Magical Air Swarm (M.A.S.)

You can now create two M.A.C.s with tinker's tools during a long or short rest and can create a temporary one for 30 minutes by using a level 3 spell slot or above by taking a magic action for 10 minutes. If you take "Aerial Reconnaissance", you can see through any of the M.A.C.s that take the bonus action at once.
