It looks like a lot of new people are coming into the city right now. That seems quite odd to me... have those of you who have been here a while noticed anything similar happening in the past ( Read more... )

I never got around to explaining that, did I? Fonons are present in all things back on Auldrant. They bind atoms together and are also present in the atmosphere where they can be used for various purposes: performing artes (I assume these could be classified as "magic"), powering machines, keeping lamps lit, and so forth. Like the electricity you mentioned, fonons can be used as an energy source. Any device or scientific practice that makes use of fonons, could be roughly categorized as "fontechnology".

I'm not an expert on the subject, however.

I see... so the way you manipulate fonons sounds similar to how mages from my world are able to draw power from the surrounding elements.

What are 'artes?'

[Voice] nightcrossed January 31 2010, 02:03:24 UTC

It's likely. The first six types of fonons reflect the elements: darkness, earth, wind, water, fire, and light. The seventh fonon is one that mutated in the planet storm. Some people call them "sound fonons", but they have also been associated with terms like "life" and "memory".

Artes are learned abilities. Fonic artes in particular are like spells. By drawing fonons into one's fon slots and then reciting a verse, one is able to perform more advanced artes that make use of different varieties of fonons. These are mostly used by soldiers and other fighters in battle, although there are also healing artes. Some monsters can perform them as well.

...You can use them to heal?

It looks like the more people from one world come here, the more they attract. Couldn't tell you why or how, though.

Possibly once whoever is controlling it gets a grip on one person, it's easier for them to go back to that source.

Hmm...could be. Never really thought of it that way.

You are a curious girl, aren't you?

It's just a guess, but it could be an explanation. They all seem to know each other, too... I wonder why that is.

Well, if I'm going to be thrown into a place like this it makes sense to learn all I can about it.
