Soarium is a metal prized by the Zarth. It allows the creation of large flying structures. Flying fortresses!

The idea

I wanted some way for the Zarth to have unique flying structures. The Fay mostly use Sky-Vines and Solid-clouds, but I wanted something a bit different for the Zarth. Ziggy 23:57, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

How does it work?

1. It is anti-gravity, so it works like a helium balloon in cartoons. Would be easy to refine, but perhaps hard to find.
2. It converts torque into force, so it's like a totally mechanical rocket engine. This would also allow interesting rocket-pack like creations, as well as thrusters for vehichles, boring machines, and submarines. This might be a little too useful though.
3. Like 1, but the effect is controlled by temperature. The hotter it is, the more lift it provides. Like a hot air balloon.
4. Like 2, but it requires angular velocity. The faster you spin it, the more thrust it provides. Like a fan, but it wouldn't need anything to blow.
