"Are you able to make any readings on the aetherial force of the crystals?"
A simple enough question. "While I can pass as a decent arcanist, my abilities to read or sense aether is nearly nonexistent." He wasn't lying, at least. No pure-blooded Garlean could make use of aether. Wasn't he enough of an abomination?
He opened the scrolls, laying them out to look at each of the calculations.
"No...these, the math checks out. A simple gravity spell should not be enough to sustain the landmasses. If we can assume that they've managed to find some sort of equilibrium, that would at least explain why they do not float any higher, but manage to stay relatively in place."
He scribbled a few notes into his own book.
"For now, I can only assume there is a stronger spell at work. The crystals attached to each island. They appear to shift from one aspect to another. It's possible that they could be the key to this, but it may be something beyond my understanding. The Nymians were noted to be quite advanced in their skills. Quite a few books discuss how a single scholar could provide support for an entire troop of fighters."
"There could be more to it than what we see."
