I like this idea, particularly in a mechanically minded domain like Lamordia

So if she can animate machines/technological devices, and does require Victors constant care to heal the damage done to either him or Adam, that would go some way to explaining why she doesn't animate many of the devices in Mordenheim's lab, she can't interfere with her own upkeep.

How might she use her power to further her agenda?

Assuming the destruction of Adam is still her goal, and if not destruction, then at least frustration, could she do anything to thwart him? After all he lives a pretty machine free life.

Assuming the destruction/frustration of Adam is impossible or doesn't take up all her energies, what might her secondary goals be?

Some ideas:

1) look for Eva
2) trying to find a way to contact Victor. The tricky thing here is that she can't approach the lab or else her spirit will be drawn back into her body and suffer helplessly until she can grab a passing vessel of some kind.
3) trying to find a new body. She can inhabit machines for a while. But after some time, she always is pulled back to her incapacitated mortal remains.

Maybe she can inhabit Adam's golems from time to time as well but she hates it as she is a horrid looking golem and she can't last long in it.
