magic powered automatons.

Hey I'm kinda new, but I would like to know, Is it possible to build an automaton and power it with magic, or maybe bring it to life?

Sorry, It simply cannot be done. Magick is more subtle than that.

If you mean "bring it to life" as in to create a physical being then no, it cannot be done. If you mean creating a spiritual being that exists on the spiritual/astral rather than the physical plane, then yes, one can create such beings there.

Well...it might be possible, but I advise against it. Magic requires energy, and powering what sounds to me like a robot is going to take a very large amount of energy that you are unlikely to have. Even if you could power it, you'd be left exhausted and probably very hungry whenever the automaton was working. The only way I have ever heard of creating life is homunculi, but that requires a Philosopher's Stone (which would be a journey in and of itself) and lots of experimentation since the original method has been lost. Perhaps we will be able to fuse magic and science completely one day, but unless you are willing to completely dedicate yourself to this, I suggest following other paths.

Who knows?But my advice is this magick does not do everything we want it to do,its not like how they show it on tv or even books.Besides in the immortal instruments series the automatons were ghastly robotic machines that ran on very dark powerful magic.It requires for science to create a robot than can move like a man and human like flesh.Something like that is unnatural for so many reasons.
