Silkmotic Force

The Silkmotic Force is the Daran term for static electricity. In the state of Faça, it was developed from a simple principle for street magic into a practical and powerful tool for warfare, showcasing the Dandelion Dynasty's emphasis on technological innovation.

Details

For generations, the street performers of Faça used the properties of rubbed silk and amber to create entertaining illusions. This was considered a low-class curiosity until it was investigated by Prince Phyro and Consort Risana. They uncovered the scientific principles behind the Ogé Jar (a Leyden jar), a device capable of storing and discharging powerful electrical shocks.[TWOS-55]This research was weaponized during the Lyucu War. The Dara fleet used massive, silkmotic-powered crossbows and long lances that could electrocute garinafins, proving decisive at the Battle of Zathin Gulf.[TWOS-59][TWOS-60]Later, the inventor Rati Yera used a light-sensitive substance called oculium, which conducted the silkmotic force, to create a guidance system for the 'sunflower' missiles, a revolutionary new weapon.[SB-25]
