Fundamental Nature of Arcanotechnology
Arcanotechnology constitutes a fundamental potential energy, called primic energy, omnipresent in the very structure of the universe. Intrinsic to all matter, it permeates every atom, every particle, forming the energetic substrate of physical reality.
Practitioners - called channelers - have learned to extract and convert this primic energy into different forms of measurable energy: thermal energy (heat), electromagnetic (light, electricity), mechanical (gravity, pressure), or even biological and informational.
Each School of arcanotechnology corresponds to a specific conversion of arcanotechnic energy toward a particular type of physical energy:
- The Fire school allows converting the Flux into molecular kinetic energy (heat)
- The Electricity school allows transforming it into an ordered electromagnetic field
- The Light school allows generating a coherent and confined photonic flux
- The Kinesthetic school allows producing mechanical work
This scientific understanding of arcanotechnology has revolutionized the Empire’s technological approaches.
