You pause for a moment to admire the writing of this subset of your twisted mind. Truly a work of genius.
Ah, Steamworks! Spark of the Revolution, ascended from its humble origins as a source of brute labor, man now seeks to tame this roaring beast to more precise pursuits. Such studies require little in the way of exotic resources, yet a skilled Scientist can build a device to do any task.
Steamworks allows the construction of devices, of all sorts. However, this technology is in it's infancy yet, and low-level devices are large clunking monstrosities, requiring mountains of coal to operate. Extensive periods of design and manufacturing are required to build more elegant devices.
Pyrotechnia and the Ethereal Fire (Electricity and Energy!)
Study of the Elektrik and other Natural Phenomena fall under the category of Fysics.
What miracles make up the physical world, and what miracles come forth from the study of their nature! Is there anything that can not be improved by the addition of Harnessed Lightning?
The Study of Fysics serves primarily an auxiliary function; knowledge of Fysics improves nigh every other aspect of Science. For example, Fysics presents the significant contribution of the power of Elektrik, which can be harnessed torefine the workings of steamwork engines, to maintain the life of beasts under the knife of medicine, or as a tool in the transmutation of elements.
