Da, like make the page numbers 4, 20, 68 etc I'll see about that...

Well I remember there being quite an argument about how you wanted more than a mere control panel reskin for Twilight, but everyone was going on about the logic of just sitting there in her containment chamber during a breach and it wouldn't add up. That, plus how could you instruct her to use a specific setting for her magic (i.e. Fine). So I had this stewing in my mind a little bit...
It's not quite Twilight Sparkle, BUT it's damn near close enough.
It's a machine and so it can be programmed to use one of the five settings.
Because it's a machine, it can be considered not sentient and explain why it wouldn't leave its containment chamber upon a site-wide breach.
It can use "magic" to "refine" items before you.
I think it might tick most, if not, all of the boxes people wanted. At least I hope it will...
