Swoop

Swoop is a Aeravan form of magical power, existing as a liquid-gas hybrid. Able to be absorbed into some materials, as well as contained, Swoop forms the basis for Sky Drivers, as well as many smaller floating creations. When released correctly, Swoop can provide bursts and consistent thrust, releasing Stagnant Wind as a by-product. This Stagnant Wind is absorbed by some Aeravan flora, and even a few fauna. The process of "Winding" transforms Stagnant Wind back into Swoop, and can even be done exceedingly quick using Magi-Mechanics at the cost of some inputted magical power.


Swoop is not a perfect form of energy, however. The constant release and absorption of Swoop and Stagnant Wind has caused a record number of strong gusts, the creation of constant airstreams, as well as an increased frequency of storms over the years. Many plants that absorb Stagnant Wind have overtaken other species in many areas, making certain species become endangered or even extinct.


Even with these downsides, Swoop remains a very clean energy source. Industry around Swoop production is constantly changing and evolving. Many merchant cooperate with horticulturists to create more efficient plants, designed for certain environments or heights. Families that might own a small Sky Driver or FlyBike often take care of a small garden of these Swoop producing plants, and ports for larger vessels often appear overtaken by greenery to an outsider.
