Weapons
Weapons in Geminaea range from ordinary blades and bows to arms powered by Aethyr. Aethyr technology lets soldiers who are not spellcasters wield force comparable to battle magic, and nations equipped with Aethyr-enhanced weaponry hold real advantages over their neighbors. Entire conflicts have been fought over the Aethyr-rich regions that supply it. Which powers make and field such weapons today is yet to be described.

- Alchemical Bombs: thrown or planted explosives filled with reactive alchemical mixtures.

Trade and Control
Section titled “Trade and Control”Lyrium, flux cells and alchemical reagents are all valuable and dangerous, so their trade in weapons-grade quantities is closely watched by guilds and governments. Powerful arms tend to gather in the hands of armies, city watches and wealthy patrons.
