My problem is how to justify the existence and operation of airships. As
first I thought "Magic!", but that doesn't really do the concept justice. My
next thought was that each airship has to have crystals (found in the AQ and
RR sets) which have levitation powers. They are hooked up to special
levers and such - making them independent from any magician and single source.
Better yet - there could be a special chair that one could sit at and
channel their thoughts through the crystal - making the airship only as
stable as
its captian - making it almost a living object - like a mecha almost.
The fun with that would be that a mountain with these or source of them
would be highly desirable and hard to find. If you want to go further, the
chrome armor on the knights might be carved from these crystals - giving
them the power to levitate and fly. "Death from above!" The idea of
opening up the airs through a controlled means (via crystals) adds a fun
demension to the whole world.
Anyone else given this thought?

| I was looking through the old Castle World site when I came across the "magic" section. I was wondering if anyone would be interested in having a "magic" section on the temp site. I have some great ideas for spells to put up on the site. A character (...) (24 years ago, 15-Nov-00, to lugnet.castle.org)
