Arcane Amplifier

Arcane Amplifiers are magical constructs that increase the potency of Arcane energy stored within Mana Stones . First discovered at the beginning of the Age of Arcana, Arcane Amplifiers were part of the base technologies behind the Floating Cities and were considered era-changing in their impact. However, with the Ruin of the Floating Cities, the fall of the Age of Arcana, and the slight changes to the makeup of the Weave, the blueprints for creating such technologies were lost to the later Ages.

However, in more recent decades, The Noble House of Fenbrook has invested a lot of time and money into the study of Arcane Amplifiers for the purposes of furthering research and development into more efficient methods of transport. Their current focus of study is in Arcane Ships and Arcane Airships, being a merchant family at their core, though it is believed that they may turn their attentions to the installation of Amplifiers into land-based machines if their experiments are considered successful. The Schola Arcana in Curtana has also been studying the possibility of manufacturing Arcane Amplifiers as power sources or as portable Amplifiers of personal magic, using House Fenbrook's experiments as a baseline for their studies. However, these lines of study have yet to yield any results.

While the rediscovery of Arcane Amplifier technology is expected to change the future, much as it led to the Age of Arcana, the current iteration is massively unstable, and few safe examples have been successfully crafted.

The only current use for Arcane Amplifiers is upon Arcane Ships, of which there are only six in existence. Four of these belong to House Fenbrook, who are leading the way in terms of innovation into the technology, while the remaining two were gifts to the Marshall's Office of Kaldor Vahn and the Envoy's Office of Cnuic Ghlainne. Arcane Amplifiers are still considered too dangerous for general use on land.

Discovery

While the original Arcane Amplifiers are attributed to a team led by the Gnomish Artificer, Dimitrios Konstantinos, the current research into the technology is being undertaken by a research team within House Fenbrook, with a small team at the Schola Arcana benefiting from it.
