World Tree Fruit

World Tree Fruits are magical objects with elemental properties that grow on the World Tree.
When pieces of other material planes that are turned into floating islands in Hogoku, World Tree fruits are added to replicate phenomena that might've been tied to parts of the island's original plane that weren't brought to Hogoku or otherwise unable to continue in the new plane. They're also used to make the islands float in the Sky Ocean.

Environmental Impact

The biggest hazard of harvesting a world tree fruit is the elimination of whatever phenomena they were responsible for, which the area might've been dependent on. Most dangerously, when all of a Sky Ocean island's air-affinity fruits are taken, the island will no longer be able to float and will crash into the Wilderness below.
