Agromancy

Agromancy is the very foundation of modern society, whether the Technomancers wish to admit it or not.

— Shiv Moonsong

Agromancy is the slow nurturing of the natural magics inherent in everything: animal, vegetable, and mineral. This slow, energentic imbuement is critical to the function of not only traditional agromancy-enchanted items such as ever-warm tea cups and airflow window panes, but it is important to note that all Technomaniacal Contraptions can only be made from Agromagical Materials, such as the imbued sands from Tilth.

Manifestation

Items imbued with agromancy, whether in their raw material state or those that have been processed in any manner (such as a raw fruit being sliced into a salad or a tree being cut into planks for the hull of a ship), have a faint visual quality. It is not a glow, a sparkle, or a shine. It is, perhaps, akin to a shimmer or a sheen, like the surface of a pearl. It is subtle, and only manifests in the reflection of bright light against the object's surface. Again, similar to a pearl or the inside of a seashell.

Localization

The ages-long process through which agromancy is achieved comes down to two things: blood sacrifice and dragon nests. The radiation generated by an Iwhute lingers in the molecular structure of exposed materials, down to the atomic level. Due to the abundance of nests around the continent (it is estimated that every island has at least one iwhute) the effect is wide-spread. However, due to the generations of dedicated specialization of each island, each tends to be known for the agromagical properties of one particular agromagical material.
