the spellbinders have discovered the power to create and manipulate static electricity. they fly in gigantic copper-coloured machines that utilise large rotating orange crystals, presumably creating some form of magnetic levitation. the spellbinders often use their power for good, but some abuse this power and use their discoveries for malevolence. one such malevolent spellbinder is ashka, who often manages to hide her true nature. common people are often "banished" for their misdeeds, and sometimes spellbinders are banished, also, if they are proven to have done wrong.
