Better Living Through Etheric Exploits: Technology Brainstorming/Discussion
kazimmoinuddin:
Crystal can be grown, and these were harvested. If the crystals can be kept alive, they might not experience a loss of power.

The bigger limitation on etheric improvements may be cultural. We don't have enough history yet, but this world seems to be in a typical medieval innovative rut. Things work the way they work, and there's not much pressure to improve them. The obvious conclusion is a colony world where the original tech base has been forgotten, but where the original efforts to build the spires has led to a largely comfortable existence for the population.
One specific exploit that looks possibly like a plot hole is the power of Etherialists to control/subvert etheric weaponry. This seems pretty axiomatic so far in the story. But given that, why can't they affect naval weapons? I kept expecting Ferrus to alter the course of the engagement at the end by turning the weapons of the Auroran BC back on her.
