Forza Engine
Mechanics & Inner Workings
The basic Forza engine consists of a metal box that contains a multitude of copper-alloy gears interconnected via axels. The largest gear(s) in the engine box has a sapphire, emerald, or amethyst Forza Crystal embedded into it. Once a spark rod is activated and electricity is sent into the crystal-embedded gear, the entire mechanism begins spinning. As the gears begin to spin, they help operate rotation-pushed pistons. The pistons receive bursts of energy multiple times per second from a combination of compressed steam and ignited liquid fuel. The piston sets, usually starting at 2 pistons, move in a pattern that allows for consistent power generation.
External/supplementary components can include burners and boilers that help increase power generation. Extra pistons can be added for more horsepower at the cost of increasing material needs. Water in particular can serve as a sort of "emergency fuel" when liquid fuel is not present. Water itself already has a seconndary purpose as a coolant for the engine to prevent overheating.
Manufacturing process
The processes of metalsmithing, tinkering, infusing, and enchanting are all used to create Forza engines.
Significance
Forza engines are what allow machines like Forza Wagons, airships, and more to work properly. Without the engines, those machines wouldn't be able to function at all.

Tools
While it's possible to create a Forza engine from using smith's tools and tinkering tools, it will take a significant amount of time and energy. In general, industrial-grade machinery is used for the creation process of these engines.
