Magical Technology

Magic is the lifeblood of the world of Eberron. From elemental transports, to artificer infusions, to dragonmarked housesto psionics, magic has many forms and all forms are employed to maximum efficiency in the world of Eberron. Artifice is the practice of imbuing mundane items with magical infusions. While neither divine, nor arcane the infusions provide similar magical energies to the imbued item making it more powerful or capable of achieving supernatural results. Practitioners of artifice are called artificers and are prevalent throughout Khorvaire. Elemental Binding is the practice of trapping a called elemental into a dragonshard which is then retrofitted into a vessel or item to produce a supernatural effect akin to advanced technologies. The practice is almost exclusively performed by gnomes of Zilargo however the secrets of elemental binding can not be kept secret forever. Elemental binding provides Eberron with mighty elemental vessels as well as powerful magic items all with the spirit of a bound elemental contained within.

Below are some examples of magical technology used in Eberron:

Sending Stones
Sending Stones work differently in New Eberron. Think of a pager. A person with a sending stone can synchronize to a number of sending stones equal to 10. Once you're synchronized, you can freely communicate to them. The sending stone vibrates when it receives a message, and only one person can receive the message which is telepathically communicated in their head.
