Kindle

A ''Town Temperature Enhancer'' (usually referred to as a kindle) is an object located usually in the centre of a town, or spread out across a bigger city. These objects are often used in colder areas to keep the streets warm, even in the dead of winter. A kindle is essentially a collection of fire elemental stones, but the power it emits is significantly larger than the individual power of the seperate elemental stones added up. One time, the kobolds living under Haernos stole a kindle because their local lava pocket had cooled down.

Mechanics & Inner Workings

The elemental stones are connected through an intricate system of tubes made out of liquid elemental energy. This way, the stones can share and enhance eachother's power. This liquid energy is a mysterious substance and can only be upheld by elemental magic. Nearly half of the elemental magic emitted from the stones go to supporting the liquid elemental tubes. All of this is coated in a thin layer of hardened magma to protect the fragile inner workings.

Manufacturing process

Using elemental magic, the elemental stones are arranged in their optimal position. They are kept afloat in this position and then submerged in a vat of liquid fire element. Several other fire element wielders use magic to construct the network between the stones. The fragile construcion is lifted out of the liquid and let to cool down naturally for several hours. It is then gently wrapped in a sheet of hardened magma to finish the product.
