Airships (Kishanko)

Airships have been used in trading and for travel since the Pax Magus, transporting Sorcerers between the continents and islands with relative speed and safety. The airships of these golden years were unarmed, relying on goodwill and some Sorcerous protection to reach their destinations safely.

After the collapse of the Pax Magus, the Mystic Circle of the Tornado began to experiment with sorcery-powered weaponry and propulsion. After several spectacular failures a working spell set was discovered, allowing the creation of Air Sorcery cannons and engines.

Even so, most airships are still unarmed, Sorcery cannons are expensive to enchant, although a few enterprising Sorcerers of other Schools have managed to create their own Sorcery cannons, most notably the Ancient Order of All-Consuming Flame.
