Your crystal idea sounds alot like the way that mecha and airships work in
the world of the Japanese anime Escaflowne. In it, dragon hearts (or
something like that, I've only watched one episode), which are what allow

of the dead dragons buried there. My details are extremely flaky, but the
general idea is there.
