+ | Normally it is not possible to manipulate the [[Magic|aether]] mechanically, but as with almost everything there is an exception and in this case it's Critical Instability. What happens is that when energy is released it has a nigh on immeasurable effect on the surrounding aether. The effect is so small that even at extremely high levels of energy released (like when detonating an atomic bomb) the effect on the aether is still negligible. |

+ | One single instance of energy release does not have any real effect on the aether. However, the same does not apply to the same amount of energy released repeatedly at a high constant rate for a period of time. The repeated release of energy can under some circumstances cause resonance in the ather, leading to the effect on the aether becoming increasingly more noticable. Once the aether has started to resonate it very quickly spirals out of control and in effect the aether channels and weaves itself. |

+ | The frequencies during which the aether will resonate like this are highly dependent on the component releasing the energy. Scientists and researchers are talking about Criticial Instability Frequency (CIF) as a material property. As a matter of tradition CIF is usually measured in RPM rather then Herz. This is a nod to how the property was discovered and where it still matters most - the research of fuel for internal combustion engines. |
