Summary

#Summary TheseThese three ideas are some templates on which you could not only solve this particular problem, but explain a few things like magic, super powers, and exotic creatures; and some of their caveats (why does the wand doesn't/does do x? Cuz the Eldritch didn't understand us so the didn't put that feature in/ threw that feature in just in case it is helpful/ put that feature in because the Eldritch use that feature and figured we might to). (Basically it makes hand waving easier as well.)

Eldritch: Let's give humans some technology
Humans: Oh, hey the Eldritch gave us magical items

Eldritch: Let's give humans some technology
Humans: Oh, hey the Eldritch gave us magical items

So magic wands rained from the sky one day. (The Eldritch called them a multi tool, because it conveniently had lots of features packed into it; If we gave the Eldritch a Sonic screwdriver, they would call that a magic wand.) It is powered by ______(It could be a essentially free power source like "power from the Eldritch dimension" (or more accurately "our science researchers can't figure it out"), or "magic" batteries regularly delivered to Earth by the Eldritch, or something from Earth - depending on your world and what limitations you want to impose on the magic wand.) The Eldritch has given more specialized "technology" (amulets, orb, etc). They don't exactly know what the humans want, so they gave them a verietyvariety. All these tools sync (imprint) with the human, and the human can just think to use it (or it has a passive effect). The tech can also use the human's "view on the world" in the sense that an amulet of anti-hurting will use that human's sense of the word hurting.

The Eldritch scientists figured out how to make things Intelligent! (Humans call the EldrichEldritch version of AI "animating objects" or "bringing objects to life") They then create creatures based on human art (video games, movies, fan art) and the humans wake up one day to find there is a dragon/giant wolf/pokemon/spirit animal/etc imprinted to them, waiting for orders. Our AIs have gone from knowing nothing about how the world works to imitating our speech and mastering our videogames. And our human babies have gone from knowing little about the world to being Intelligent, so it is possible for these "creatures" to do the same. Especially if they can imprint on us, and (semi-)read our minds(at least know how it's owner thinks and understands the world)

Also, since the creatures are of Eldritch orginorigin, the EldrichEldritch can talk to the creatures, who can talk to/think to their owners and vice versa. Then the humans can give the EldrichEldritch some our humanities' magic.

Eldrich:
This little ball can explode w/out using children screams! Now it is undetectable by children screams detectors!
This box heats stuff up at a very exact temperature! (Compared to their traditional way by blasting it with Eldrich fireballs.)
*Holds what we call a phone* This is useless. All it does is light up.
*Holds tech that somehow is detrimental to the Eldrich* Oh no! ________. This is the worst! Why would the humans give us this?
*Holds tech that hurts an Eldrich* Ow. Humans are mean. Let's go to war with them.

#Super Powers

We could help humans by giving them super powers! They use "their own incomprehensible equivalent to what we call science" to give powers (or change their body, etc.) We don't know what powers they would like or wouldn't, so we'll give a random one to each human, and let evolution figure it out.

The Eldritch may have in idea of what "a terrible" super power is, but it might give a smaller amount of humans that power just in case it is actually beneficial to them, because the Eldritch probably realize they think very differently from humans.
