Machina is a Latin word that was used to refer to things like siege machines and catapults during the middle ages. I don't think being too anachronistic is a problem.

"Magic mechanics" does bring to mind discussions videogame combat and magic systems, and I have heard people complain about the magic in Sanderson's books being to videogamey.
