Spoilers for TechMage boks in here

In Book 2,

<table bgcolor=black><tr><td bgcolor=black><font size=1 color=white>Spoiler:</font></td></tr><tr><td><font size=2 color=black> Galen says that because he was afraid to express himself in his spell language, he reduced it include the least of him. Therefore his spell language is derived from the natural language of the tech. That is why he is able to create powerful one term spells. He is doing what the tech was built to do and wants to do. </font></td></tr></table>

That's what I remember from the book.

I somehow suspect that. If the organelles produced by their tech could become agents of disease, it would have been discovered during the thousand years of known technomage history.

After all, more than a few mages went further than occasional lapses and casting fireballs... some sought power, fought for it and didn't select their methods (like the three mages who helped the first Centauri emperor).

And besides, organelles would have been easily detectable to Galen.
