Wake

"Wake" is the generic term for the rainbow-colored mist that appears when raw magic is altered in the air. The term comes from the idea that using magic is like being on a boat in the ocean. The more you disrupt the water the more wake it creates, and sometimes that wake can become too rough and you can capsize.

This is most obvious in airships, where sharp turns or movements (such as dropping from a great height and then flying again) can create an ocean spray-like effect. Those who have closer ties to the arcane world can see the "ocean" of magic and are the best ones to become airship navigators.

Those who have become afflicted with Solar Saturation have vents surgically implanted into their skin where the Wake can safely vent out of their bodies.
