[Kuai could make some guesses about how they work, but like everything else it would only be speculation.]
I would assume them to be magical. If they were technological they'd be far more advanced than anything else here. Aside from the tablets this place does not have much in the way of technology. If there was some mechanism that tied our life force to an object I would expect there to also be drones, cameras, vehicles beyond the bikes we discovered. We barely have electricity.
[For being a guy dressed like he's from the 18th century, he does actually know a lot about tech stuff, he just refuses to acknowledge it.]
It seems unbalanced in our favor, they have more things that we want then we do for them. Especially the one who can apparently get things from our homeworld. I don't trust that at all. They're either facsimiles or they're actually going back to our worlds, and if they had the power to do that, they would not still be here.
