I think its a cool enough idea that its worth bending the rules for to
favour that interpretation. Even though its dodging the rule that charges
cost the user and that the magic always knows when you are faking it its
well within the theme of power and consequences.  I would be insisting on
heavy use of madness meters if a PC though and the devices might not
function as the Mechanomancer plans because the sacrifice doesn't come from
him. Perhaps initially all is well, but as the patient becomes more enmeshed
in the therapists life they have more contact with the devices which start
to respond to the patient or act erratically.
