As in a crystal drill used for digging, rather than a drill used for practicing magical spells and skills, magic drills are magically powered pieces of equipment used to bore into the earth. While drills of all shapes and sizes are common, the magically powered drill offers a great deal of versatility in how minerals are broken up by the drill head. Not all magically powered drills have magical drill heads, and even the ones that do can allow for standard heads. However, it is far more common to see higher grade digging crews using magical drill heads on magically powered drills, for longevity and efficiency alone.

In a standard non-magical drill head, the drill often wears down, while potentially damaging objects the excavators don't want damaged. This is due to the drill head's direct physical contact with the elements through which it is drilling. With a magical drill head, the wear and tear is dramatically reduced by surrounding the drill head with a magical drilling and buffer zone (although there remains some wear and tear), making it so there is no direct contact with the typical igneous backed-diamond drill head and the elements. The magic involved in creating this buffer zone can be directed to only break up certain types of minerals, leaving others intact, as guiding forces push both broken and unbroken particles away in a constant magical flow incorporated with air, earth and water magics.

Leamo's work with on Drill Unit 2 involved using a common, but high grade magical drill capable of multiple settings.

Excerpt: “The rest of their walk, to the digging equipment, was met with passing members of the team, and loud vibrations from the crystal powered, wood-iron framed, igneous backed-diamond drill. Magic was a powerful thing, but it could burn a body out, making these drills an invaluable service. They helped to break up the dirt, in conjunction with earth-shaping magic, providing for a speedy and efficient excavation.”
