Arcane Mechanika
Discovery
The discovery was experimentation to see if the rune crystals could be echantented. Ituzith was a powerful an enchanter and inventor. She was of the first to theorize that Rune Crystals was magic essence that was became physical and solid after the tear of the magical weave. She though if they could have magical enchantments on them and it would cause them be more powerful. This did not seem to work. She then was looking at magical traps and how they where stored enchantments that were applied to rune plates. Before the magical weave was broken these traps would be imbued with magical essence. With a plate with magical runes on it. When the trap was strung the plate runes would make connected to the enchanted item that was imbued with magical essence and cause to magic to go off. Experimenting with rune plates and the transference spell she was able to pull the magical essence and cause the spell rune to activate without any imbued magical enchantments. She was able to apply the rune crystal and plate and used the magical essence to power a gear to move and created a mechanical clock. She quickly was able to figure a trigger set up and was able to create a sword that could became a flaming sword for short period of time. She showed her new discovery to the Arcane School of Arts and the king of Idoria. Soon she taught her discovery and tinkers and mages alike created new marvels. Why not as impressive fully magical enchantments, during the first age of mortal when magic was weaked a great deal Arcane Mechanika became the next best thing and because it was abundant most people could acquire it.Utility
