Work

Mechanical machines of all type throughout the Empire are used solely for one purpose: to imbue kinetic crystals with raw potential energy. Once so charged, these crystals are then sold to townfolk who employ them in the manufacture of refined goods. This entire process is known as kinesis, though the villagefolk who make these crystals usually just sell them as “Work”.

Windmills, Tidemills and Manufactories produce Work. Unlike other Secondary Goods, Work is produced directly from a Village and sold directly to a Town, where it will then be used to process another Secondary Good into a Tertiary Good. Tertiary Goods fill the same need in a city but sell for far more money. Work can also be sold across Shards.
