technomancer
Technology-wielding magic user
A technomancer is someone who combines technological expertise with seemingly magical ability—a person so skilled with computers, electronics, or other tech that their work appears supernatural to others.
The term blends technology with necromancer, suggesting arcane mastery over machines rather than the dead.
Common in science fiction and gaming, where technomancers literally channel magic through technology: The technomancer hacked the security grid with a wave of her hand.
In everyday use, it's an affectionate label for anyone with uncanny tech skills: Call the IT guy—he's basically a technomancer.
