-TIMELINE-

Long before the realm of earth in fact long before any other realm the first dawn started on the surface of Tonachk, with the first dawn were the Astral Dragons. From the start they were intelligent and mystical creatures far beyond the capacity of any other living being at that time. They were the first to discover the dirty child, and so the Astral Dragons named them Haim meaning "people".

For many ages the Haim served the Astral Dragons revering them as both Lords and Gods. As the ages of great peace went on the Astral Dragons increased in wisdom and power soon they longed to create a realm made in their own image, and so they left the surface of Tonachk and their first mountain of Tel Hai.

Venturing almost endlessly into the starless sky they ripped a hole in between mass and time, knowing that if they did not venture far enough that the wave of energy would destroy their beloved planet. Luckily they did venture far enough, and so in the heavens above Tonachk was born the second star.

The deep magic that they used to pierce through reality had a chain reaction, and soon other realms were born from the event. This is the creation of all realms, at the very dawn of time. As each realm was born a star was created in the heavens, so unlike our realm in the eldest realm stars are windows in to each realm.

-THE FIRST PLANET-

Tonachk is a planet that revolves around an ageless star, it has one moon like Earth but is nearly five times the size of Earth. Before the Astral Dragons wave of energy hit the planet the skies were clear, but afterward the only region that has a clear sky is Tel Hai because it is located at the top of a volcano roughly the size of the continent containing Russia, Europe, and Asia.

-THE GREAT SHAKING-

The Great Shaking is the event that changed the surface of Tonachk forever, it happened when the wave of magical energy that the Astral Dragons created to break into another realm hit the surface of Tonachk actually moving the planet three inches closer towards their ageless star. This caused the atmosphere to change drastically and humidity to rise to a point that the surface of the planet became covered in a fairly dense cloud cover.

-THE HILL OF LIFE-

Tel Hai meaning "The hill of life" is exactly that, it is a giant mountain that the first Astral Dragons "awoke" atop of. To call it a mountain wouldn't be entirely correct because it is in fact a long dead volcano, in the shallow creator of the volcano lays the actual region of Tel Hai, including it's vast southern seas. It is the only region of Tonachk that is above the dense cloud cover and has a regular weather climate. (i.e. rain, snow, etc.)

-THE BIRTH OF SILVERWOOD-

The 'birth' of silverwood happened during the great shaking, when the seed of a Tarnis tree which grew at the peak of Mt. Mourn (the highest point of Tonachk) was detached from the tree because of the great earthquake, while it drifted in the atmosphere it was heavily charged by the magical wave causing it to mutate. When it finally found it's way to the ground it produced a small sprout that was silver, after only a week the tree was nearly the size of a great oak. At first no one knew why the tree grew so fast, but upon further inspection everything that touched the tree would die. The magic had made it so the tree would draw the base energy of all things into itself so the tree would produce seeds at dusk nightly. The base energy of all things was later named Prana or Prana Energy meaning "vital life". When silverwood draws prana energy it will begin to glow; the more prana energy it is exposed to the faster it will charge, when it is fully charged silverwood will glow vibrantly. At that point a silverwood tree will use all extra prana energy to grow in width and height.

-THE FALSE TRUTH-

The False Truth is the misconception that the world of Tonachk ends at the boarders of Tel Hai, it is a common belief that all of the Haim share. They are not able to explore past their boarders because of the vast silverwood forests that surround Tel Hai, the forests eventually get so dense that it would be impossible to venture onward without serious harm or in some cases death. If one were to sail to the edge of the sea they would find that waves splash over the edge falling into the unknown cloud cover below, they named this edge "The Fringe"

-THE REALIZATION OF PRANA-

The realization of Prana also know as Prana Energy was accredited to professor Silas Vilar of the Third Era of the Haim. He devoted his lifes work to the study of Silverwood in the pursuit to harness the energy it gathered for the betterment of the Haim society. He perished at the age of eighty seven in an experiment that required to much contact with silverwood.

However great the discovery it wasn't until nearly a hundred years later that it was fully realized when professor Lark Xalivi a student of Silas discovered that Prana Energy could be stored in Lithos (six different variety of precious gemstones) which would begin the era in Haim history known as the Historic Prana Era. In this era the Haim used Lithos as a sort of battery which spawned all sorts of inventions.

It wasn't until three hundred years later that the era known as the "Prana Revolution" actually started. It was when a miner by the name of Elias Thane not a professor that discovered an abundant mineral He named Aphesis meaning "release". He called it that because when it made contact with a charged Lithos it would cause the release of Prana Energy from the stone at a rapid rate depending on the pressure that the mineral makes with the stone. The release works like that of an explosion, it billows outward taking the path of least resistance, it causes a field of prana energy in a ball around the lithos. What is astounding is that depending on how the light reacts with the stone (in other words its color) depends on what type of energy is dispersed. There are seven different type of lithos they are as follows (Ruby, Sapphire, Topaz, Emerald, Amber, Diamond, and Onyx)

This discovery ushered in a renaissance of technological breakthrough that changed the face of Tel Hai, for nearly fifty years new inventions, weapons, gadgets, armor poured into the industries. In a way Tel hai became modernized but it's style was unlike that of earth except in a few royal families. Its fashion and trends stayed closer to their roots closer to the Victorian era that that of modern day earth. (the style and architecture are comparable to neo-victorian and/or Steampunk.)

The Discovery that made the century was that of the art of Prana Energy Grinding, it is a process that takes place when lithos and aphesis make contact while the lithos is in contact with silverwood. What happens is the prana energy is no longer dispersed in a spherical form but will follow along the silverwood because silverwood draws in the energy. This caused inventions such as prana generators and gravitators to come about. Also because of this Silverwood sabers were introduced into society as the new elemental standard of weaponry.


-THE WORLD ITSELF-

-THE ASCENSION-

The event known as The Ascension was the decision of the nobles to depart from the surface building satellites which essentially were an advanced network of personalized heavens and floating cities powered by silverwood generators and large amounts of emeralds. The way it worked out was that the further away your satellite was from the surface the more wealthy your family was, the wealthier your family was usually meant the more noble you were. So in essence the higher your floating isle was away from the surface the more noble they were.

-THE RIFT BETWEEN -

The Surface Below: since the Ascencion most of the cities have become homes for dominant gangs, and though you may enter a city without being a member it wouldn't be very safe. The three cities that did not follow this path were Moor, Kar, and Ilitha, these cities at a time were overpopulated with the mass amounts of refugees that sought shelter there, but as in recent years resettlement projects have built hundreds of thousands of homes and have even cultivated the starting of small settlements and towns close but not actually in the city limits. Large neutral territories between the cities have been specified for the purpose of trade, these zones have also produced a lot of small towns. There is a strict "No Silverwood" policy in these trade zones, if a person is found to have silverwood on him (which happens frequently) they are usually overwhelmed by the territory enforcers (who are permitted to have PE sabers) and captured, then are forced into slavery in one of the many mines to help mine lithos.
The Floating Isles; There are currently two-hundred-eighty-seven Noble Satellites suspended in air above the skies of Tel Hai though they seem to expand almost yearly. They vary in both size and style as do the nobles that live on them. There are five great cities amongst them the first and largest is the floating Metropolis of Skrie, the second is Celina, followed by Tarturis, Rithe, and Quil. These floating cities house the vast majority of both assassins and detectives but also those who have gained the status of fame by nobles, and by law they are to be treated like one.

-THE LAWS OF SOCIETY-

Before The Ascension the surface of Tel Hai flourished, they were united and had relative peace. On occasion there were a few outbreaks of clan wars but after time Tel Hai would unite again. However, the nobles became so proud that they thought with this new power they should depart from the common lowly man and distinguish themselves to live among the heavens.

When the final isle drifted into the sky powered by the Lithos of air, they left their people abandoning them. The surface below erupted as different factions fought for control of the huge cities, the meager law enforcement that the nobles left behind were soon outnumbered and overwhelmed. Not long afterward the most of the cities became under the control of organized crime organizations (OCO's) and mafias. So the people joined these groups, and those who didn't either fled to the dangerous wilderness or were killed.

After the gangs took control a skewed sense of order took over most of the cities leaving only Ilitha, Kar, and Moor to be refuges of the weak and lawful. Though order was skewed it was better than the anarchy then ensued right after the nobles lifted to the sky, many people died those few months and many are still mourned to this day. Realizing that the isolated cities would parish the OCOs established neutral zones and strict trade routes where trade would take place.

As all of this happened the nobles realized that they too must establish a strict code if they were to survive, for all of the noble families strove for power and were competitive. So each of the families signed a pact that they were not to commit the crime of murder and if one of them were to kill another noble in cold blood, that the murderer would be brought to a council of which the family of the person he killed would lead. They would either kill the murderer, or exile him to the world below, stripping them of their title, and possessions. If a family did not produce the murderer after it was proven that they were in fact the culprit, then that whole family would be killed by the rest of the nobles. Their possessions would be divided between the rest of the families and their names would blotted out of all history books so that the family might wouldn't be remembered at all.

So because of this law, on the surface the floating isles and cities are a place of excess, of parties, balls, masquerades, and euphoria. If one were to search deeper they would find locked doors filled with back room politics, assassinations, intrigue, murder, seductions, and plot. With all of this in play, it is said that there are more assassins and detectives on any one floating isle then in an entire city on the surface. The way to make money on the isles is to be a great detective or an even better assassin.

-UNIQUE FLORA & FAUNA-

Hyena-Bat: These creatures are the size of a large lion, they run in packs usually found in the wastes, but they can also be found in the forests of Tel Hai. They have large wings attached to their forearms by an extra bone and ligament, they can run for twenty miles at speeds of 30mph but can sprint for short distances at 55mhp. They can open their wings to glide across the air but they cannot actually fly. They have serrated teeth that they use to tear flesh off of the bone, and their jaws are strong enough to snap bones like twigs. It is not recommended that The Haim engage these beasts alone, for they are never usually far away from their pack.

Elephant Turtle: These massive beasts are hatched the size of a full grown elephant from eggs the size of a large boulder, at birth they weigh nearly 10 tons. Elephant Turtles life span is well over 50,000 Haim years, during that lifetime an elephant turtle will never stop growing. They are vegetarians but also thrive off of minerals that are found in the stones and crags of the Wastes. Elephant turtles have large sacs on the underside of their shell that hold hundreds of thousands of gallons of water, because of this they can sustain themselves for nearly Two Haim years in the wastes before they have to migrate back to get water. They live in complex patriarchal communities that follow a nomadic route through the Wastes. elephant turtles are not aggressive unless they are continually provoked or in life threatening danger. The largest Elephant Turtle is known as the Turtle King, he along with his community have been tamed by the nomadic tribes of Xalivi, in most cases these Haim carve their villages into the thick stone like shells of the Elephant Turtles, they are careful not to hurt the elephant turtles.
The Turtle King however is slightly different, since his shell was so large the Xalivi were permitted to climb up under his shell and construct what is now their greatest city named Burn. The City now covers a large portion of The elephant turtles shell, housing towering spires that house building as tall as some sky-scrapers. The city of burn itself is currently roughly the size of Manhattan but as construction continues they expect it to grow eventually to the size of Los Angles, covering the entirety of the Elephant Turtles shell.

Spider Snake: Spider snakes are dangerous creatures some species can grow up to 120ft long and 13ft wide, they are the natural predators of Tel Hai. Able to silently slither at speeds exceeding 40mph these creatures are at the top of the food chain. Many Spider snakes launch a thick net of sticky venom that they use to ensnare their prey, (the larger species can accurately shoot prey from ten yards away) the venom usually paralyzes the victim in a matter of moments but in rare species the venom causes different ailments combustion (sets the prey on fire). Once the prey is successfully caught the spidersnake will lay as flat as it can expanding in width as it prepares to swallow its catch whole, it uses its scaled legs which are situated on its head to reel the catch in. Once swallowed the pray is stuck with hallow spines that are on the inside running along its ribs and spine, these spines inject digestive fluids into the meal quickly liquefying the internal organs, muscles, bones and fat. After the insides are a nice thin consistency, muscles located at the base of each spine flex creating suction, the spines then suck up the liquefied meal and then the spidersnake regurgitates the remains (skin and hair).

Skry: These dragon-like serpents are the largest known flying species in the sky, they usually grow up to fifteen feet in length, but in some cases males can get as large as thirty-five feet. They thrive on a diet of fruit, but are also known to eat lithos as a snack (yes they do not eat meat) because of this many of the haim have tamed them for travel. They can fly harnessed at speeds exceeding one-hundred-forty mph and maintain this speed for almost two weeks before tiring. They are intelligent creatures and because of this many Haim keep some of the smaller species as pets and companions. They are very loyal, in fact a skry will choose only one mate in a lifetime (which is about 3000 Haim years), though they are not usually aggressive wild skry are extremely territorial and will attack anything that it sees as a threat.

Silvian Snake: Also known as venom eaters these snakes, through generations of heavy exposure to silverwood have mutated on a genetic level. They can grow up to 5ft in length, and live for 300 Haim years. They are called venom eaters because of their diet which consists of venomous toads, snakes, spiders, skuds, leeches, fish, reptiles, and because they have hallow syringe-like teeth that herbalists use extract deadly venom from venomous bites. The venom from these snakes will not only numb the bitten area but also clean any open wound (much like hydrogen peroxide). These snakes are very reclusive, but because of their medicinal attributes, they are collected and treasured by all herbalists.

Silvian Butterfly:

Fire Breather: these flora have two separate glands that when combined react as a liquid napalm, most of this species of plant grows within the confines of Dark pine but some wild encounters have been reported elsewhere. These flora are carnivores, and they prey on small animals mostly, but in some rare cases when the species grew large enough Haim fatalities have been reported.

Silverwood: A metallic-like Flora that draws in PE from the world around, or from a life source. Therefore what ever touches it will surrender it's life force and with continuous exposure die. It grows as a mature tree in about a month, drawing in PE from dusk to dusk, as it consumes PE, the tree will begin to glow to a luminescent brilliance. As the last rays of light leave the sky the tree blossoms for a period of about a half hour, while it is in this stage, it releases it's seeds which take the form of silvery helicopter like pods that are spread to the seven winds. After the twilight has passes the process beings again from the start, and the cycle of life repeats.

-ON MAGIC IN THE REALM-

Because Tel Hai existed before all of the other realms, and in the beginning of Tel hai the only magic that existed was that of the Astral Dragons known as Astral Magic, all other forms of magic are null and void in the realm of Tel Hai. What this means is that any enchantments, abilities, or powers that rely on a form of magic will not be active in Tel Hai. The only species able to use magic are those of The Astral Dragon Species, and the only form of magic they can use is that of Astral Magic.

-AN EXCERPT ON PRANA ENERGY, SILVERWOOD, AND PRANA ENERGY GRINDING-

Explanation of Prana [[ Prana: "... Prana is the notion of a vital, life-sustaining force of living beings and vital energy, comparable to the Chinese notion of Qi..." It dwells within all forms of life, and within raw energy (Solar, Thermal, Kinetic, Electric, Electromagnetic, etc.) . Though it exists in all forms of energy Prana energy cannot be manipulated, absorbed, or altered through the means of an abbility or magic except by Astral Dragons. Prana is most concentrated in life forms, the more complex the life form, the larger a source of Prana energy. (Lamens terms: little creatures like a rabbit for instance have less Prana energy, while more complex creatures like an Astral Dragon have a lot of PE. {Prana Energy} ]]

Explanation of Silverwood:[Silverwood: A metallic-like Flora that draws in PE from the world around, (Lamens Terms: it sucks the life energy out of everything it comes in to contact with; whether it be raw PE Solar, Thermal, Kinetic, Electric, Electromagnetic, etc.), or from a life source. Therefore what ever touches it will surrender it's life force and with continuous exposure die; don't worry though for a normal human it would take about thirty seconds to become comatose and 120 seconds to be killed.) it grows as a tree, drawing in PE from dusk to dusk, as it consumes PE the entirety of the tree will begin to glow to a luminescent brilliance As the last rays of light leave the sky the tree blossoms for a period of about a half hour (depending on how long the twilight lasts) while it is in this stage, it releases it's seeds which take the form of silvery helicopter like pods that are spread to the seven winds. After the twilight has passes the process beings again from the start, and the cycle of life repeats.]]

Explanation of Lithos [[ Lithos: Lithos' are precious stones that like, a battery can store a PE charge. They come in different hues, and depending upon the light that the Lithos absorb (which also determines it's color) will decide how the PE charge is released. By themselves they release PE very slowly, and in this way are able to be used as a type of power cell. They come in six different colors but a number of different hues of each color, size, and purity all of which determine the strength of the Prana energy when it is released, how fast it releases, and how much PE it can store. Lithos become charged when they make contact with charged {glowing} silverwood, The PE charge will be transferred into the LIthos' causing it to illuminate, this charge will slowly dissipate. (anywhere from an hour to a month) The Different types of Lithos' by color are Ruby, Sapphire, Topaz, Emerald, Amber, Onyx, Diamond. By rarity the different types of Lithos' are Sapphire, Amber, Topaz, Ruby, Emerald, Onyx, Diamond.]]

Explanation of Aphesis [[Aphesis: Aphesis {meaning 'Release'} is a mineral native to the realm of Tel Hai. When this mineral makes contact with a charged Lithos, it releases the PE stored within the stone. The as the color of the stone varies, so does the element that the prana chooses to be made manifest. The amount of pressure that the Aphesis mineral makes with the Lithos is equal to the amount of PE that is released. {Lamens terms: the harder the Aphesis Mineral touches the charged stone the more PE will be released.} Now although the Aphesis and Lithos alone add another level of usefulness to PE, they are in themselves like an explosion of energy impossible to control, direct or manipulate. Like an explosion of normal energy the PE is rapidly dispersed and it just makes a short term spherical manifestation of the element (like a normal explosion). The list of different element to Lithos scale are as follows: Ruby/Fire, Sapphire/Water, Emerald/Air, Topaz/Lightning, Amber/Earth, Onyx/Dark-matter, Diamond/Light]]

Prana Energy Grinding (PE Grinding or P.E.G.): The art or craftsmanship of using Prana energy in a controllable state. Now first we must realize that Silverwood draws PE (Prana Energy) in, but since it can only absorb so much energy at one time it will channel any remaining PE along it's mass, because of this when used in conjunction (physical contact) Aphesis and Lithos Silverwood becomes like a copper wire or electric circuit. It will cause PE to follow a certain path, this also means released PE and thus one of the elements listed. This revolutionized Tel Hai and in the earliest days of discovery turned into what would be later realized as 'The Prana Revolution', which in many ways modernized Tel Hai using this new form of energy. Such byproducts are Silverwood Generators, PE Sabers, FI Netting, Light Armor, H-Harnesses, Airships, Telecompters, and Psymilators.

All products use general method as follows; Silverwood draws in PE, PE is then transferred to Lithos, when the user deems it necessary or when Lithos is fully charged a mechanism or trigger causes the Aphesis to make contact with the Lithos causing the PE to release in what ever manifested way, the manifested energy then travels along and through the silverwood causing a burst, or field of elemental energy. -More than one stone can be equipped to a device, however the energy is manifested through which ever the Aphesis mineral touches, PE can be transferred from smaller Lithos in to the Main Lithos through means of silverwood, these would act much like back up batteries so the release of PE can be sustained longer

-THE DUMMEY KEY-

Now if none of that made any sense to you then this post is for you.

First things first lets talk about Prana Energy; so there are two different forms of prana energy the first is Raw Prana Energy.

Raw Prana Energy is pretty much just energy lets have take a look at examples.

So heat (thermal energy) is a great example it naturally comes from the sun and allows all of us living organisms to grow and prosper. Wind (kinetic energy) is another form of raw prana energy. Fire (which produces heat and light[ light is an electro-magnetic energy) is a form of Raw Prana Energy.

The other form of Prana Energy is Complex Prana Energy, this energy doesn't occur naturally in nature itself but it is found in living creatures (anything that can feel pain) Silverwood also absorbs this. The larger and more complex the creature, the more complex prana energy it has.

lets see some examples of this, so a mouse will have a small amount of complex prana energy where as a human would have a lot more and a astral dragon even more. The amount of complex prana energy a creature has is based on its mass (size) and intellect (ability to comprehend, think, and react) so even though a human would be smaller than a horse it would have more complex prana energy than a horse because it has the potential to think more.

Now as you would have guessed, complex prana energy is greater than raw prana energy. So it will take a lot more raw prana energy to charge silverwood than it would take from complex prana energy.
There is one more catch about Prana Energy, though it exists in all forms of energy, Prana Energy cannot be manipulated or absorbed by any ability spell. This is because Prana is so basic and old that beings except Astral Dragons cannot harness it.

Alright now that we have a fairly decent grasp of Prana Energy we can move right along to Silverwood. Silverwood is a strange plant it is harder than titanium but as flexibly as a normal oak tree. It gleams silver when it is not charged, but once it begins to charge it slowly begins to glow until it resembles the brightness of a florescent light bulb.

Now unlike all other plants it doesn't require sunlight and water to grow, it just has to have a solid patch of soil to find its home in. Instead of feeding off of sunlight and water it draws the prana energy from the world around it in whatever form its environment will give it. At dusk a silverwood tree will sprout small helicopter-like seed-pods which are sent to the seven winds. Once the seeds find their way to the ground they will almost slip into the ground as though it were made of water, once planted the silverwood sprout will only take a month to mature reaching the size of a small pine. By that time it will spread seeds of its own and the process will begin again. Now i bet you are wanting some examples of how it draws in PE so here we go.

Lets say that a silverwood tree were to be planted on the bank of a river, since in a way silverwood hungers for prana energy its roots would grow very deep and very wide. Since it is on the bank the roots would grow in to the water, and since the water is rushing by the kinetic energy would feed the silverwood tree causing it to glow.

Another example, lets say that there way a forest fire and the fire tried to climb up the silverwood tree, instead of consuming the tree the silverwood would actually feed off of the prana energy of the fire causing the fire to go out.

Yet another example, lets say that an unlucky doe decides to sit against a silverwood tree, the tree would instantly begin to sap the complex PE of the doe, if the doe did not get up very quickly then the silverwood would consume all of its PE and the doe would die. In humans the process is finished in about two minutes, but it only takes thirty seconds of touching your bare skin to the tree to put you into a three day coma.

Now, lets move onto Lithos. There are only six types of precious gems in all of Tonachk, these stones are called Lithos (which simply means 'stone'). They are precious because of their beauty, but also because of their usefulness. Though they are less common than normal rock in Tel Hai these stones naturally form in abundance in the caves that dot the land. they are usually mined and cut before they are fitted to be used in PE Grinding.

Now the six types of Lithos are Ruby ,Emerald, Sapphire, Amber,Topaz, Onyx and Diamond. The most common stones are sapphires, a little less common than those are amber, even less Topaz, there are even less rubies, and emeralds are rare enough that they are reserved for nobility, and then both onyx and diamond are the rarest of these stones. In Tel Hai when you touch an Lithos to silverwood the Prana energy that the silverwood is absorbing will be transferred into the stone which causes the stone to glow.

Like silverwood each Lithos has a limit of how much PE it can hold, this usually depends on the size of the gem, but also how refined the gem is. When a Lithos is almost full of prana the center will glow as if a light was turned on in the center of the Lithos, if you overcharge a Lithos it will explode and the shards of the Lithos will turn to normal glass and will be useless.

Now as soon as the Lithos is charged (and the silverwood is not touching it anymore) it will act a lot like a battery, and the charge will disperse over time. This flow of prana energy and how fast it fades varies from stone to stone, but the flow of PE can be used to provide power to many strange inventions and commodities that the Haim possess. There is prana powered lighting, stoves and even automatic scrolls, all powered by prana energy and a Lithos (or a lot of them).

Aphesis is a mineral that is very common in tel hai, if this mineral touches a lithos that is storing prana energy then the prana energy will rapidly release. Now the nature of this release of energy (explosion) will differ from stone by stone depending on the type of lithos it is. Rubies will have fire, emeralds will have air, sapphires will have water, amber will have earth (sand), Topaz will have lightning, diamond will have light and sound. Onyx however is different in the way it expresses the release of Prana Energy when it is activated by an Aphesis. Although it is an explosion of sorts it creates a field of dark prana energy that will convert all matter it touches into dark matter (which makes it operate on another plane of existence) so what ever this field touches no longer exists. These dark prana fields take massive amounts of prana to maintain because of this they are generally a lot smaller than that that of the other prana energy fields. The only materials that this field does not effect are silverwood and then another field of prana energy (any type of prana energy released by another lithos will cancel the field of dark prana energy, successfully blocking it). A prana explosion from a diamond lithos also differs from the other fields in that it will actually reflect any prana field that it comes in contact with, because of this diamonds are generally used in armor or shields.

Prana Energy Grinding (P.E.G.) is the art that uses all three of these elements together (Silverwood, Lithos, Aphesis). So we know that silverwood draws in prana energy and when a lithos touches the silverwood the prana energy will be stored inside of it and we know that when you touch a lithos with the mineral called aphesis the prana energy will release from the lithos in some form of element (fire, air, water, earth, light,and dark matter). When silverwood is still touching a lithos at the same time the aphesis touches the lithos, instead of just exploding the prana energy will be channeled along and through the silverwood (because silverwood draws in prana energy from the world around). So because this happens these releases of energy can be directed and used in inventions.

Lets have some basic examples of this, now one of the most common examples of PEG is a PE Saber. A PE Saber is essentially a sword but instead of a normal blade it has a blade of silverwood, the pummel stone of the saber will be a cut aphesis mineral and set in the hilt will be some sort of lithos lets say it was a ruby. Now there will be two triggers on the hilt one will cause the silverwood to touch the lithos causing the lithos to charge, and the other will make the aphesis (which would run through the hilt) to touch the lithos, you would only be able to press the second trigger when the first is also pressed but when you press it, it will cause a pressurized field of fire to travel the entire length of the silverwood. So the blade would actually be fire.

The same process would be used will all of the different kinds of lithos, and if you don't think water can be sharp then you must not know that they use it to cut steel.

If anything is unclear in this key or a question wasn't answered then please ask your questions in the Tel Hai Q&A.
