Boy!  That took some work...

All right...  You guys wanted to hear about Mage-Tech for SpellJammer.
No Problem, Just let me get it typed up and ready for me to paste to my
e-mail system.  I'll give you something close to my final copies.

What I'll do right now is discuss what it is based on and how it works.
Here is an overview of my version of Mage-Tech/SpellJammer

1>  Arcane are more militant.  They control the trade and prevent outside
forces (neogi, Mind-Flayers, etc...) from harming the core spheres
(Oerth, Torel, and Krynn).  They control several super spelljammers
ranging from 100 - 10000 tons.

2>  Normal spelljamming ships exist, but are seen as old and out of
date...

3>  Larger ships are powered from a mage-tech generator.  Some basics
follow:

	SpellFire generators:  First system made by Arcane.  Like a
"Dirty" nuke reactor.
	Gnomish Plasma Gen:  Take a steel ball 10' across.  Compress it
on the elemental
		 plane of earth to a 6" diameter.  Place an admantum mesh
around it and
		 place it in a Quin-Dar crystal casing.  The Sphere will
give off enough
		 heat to ignite even the air around it, creating what the
Gnomes dubbed
		 "Plasma".  The Quin-Dar crystal can convert this heat to
		 Spell-Jamming energy for Weapons, Helms, Shields, Etc...

4> Quin-Dar crystals are capable of absorbing heat and generating
Spell-Jamming Fields.
	These fields can move ships, act as shields, create beams of
energy for weapons, 	and any other basicly "physical" thing.  They
even use this field system for 	communicating between ships!

I'll have more for later...  Sorry about it sounding like Star-Trek, Just
seemed to come out that way...



***  Second star to the right...  And straight on till morning...
