A bit of help please: Fabrication/Phasic Cannons

[The Blade]

Right, for the Sin'srask, rather than having solid shot weapons or even visible ones at all, their ships would just be covered in nodes and transmitters. I was thinking that they wouldn't have specific weapons for use but rather the ability to create their weapons out of either magic or some other form of energy. The weapons would be able to be modified to battle different threats and it would reduce on space. I need some help with what kind of energy or magic could possibly be used to create such things or any other ideas for it? Sorry, I'm a bit stumped at the moment.

This would almost certainly take A LOT of energy, depending on what weapons you're constructing, and it would also take time. Your best solution is to make a technology that is basically like Adapter Cards on your ship, modules to add new weaponry in, and use magic users/mages -- A LOT of mages -- to build the weapons, something which, depending on what you're building, could take several posts.
