One of the interesting pieces of technology in Amateria is the ice spheres which roll along the tracks, and which are generated seemingly out of thin air by the central structure in the Age. The Exile Strategy Guide has a section of information about how these spheres are formed. Essentially, a special crystal from Amateria is used in conjunction with a water lathe. The spheres are, however, very susceptible to damage due to vibration and impact, as well as limited in size. The shields of Narayan use a similar technology, but the properties of Narayani water allow the spheres to form much larger, stronger, and without the aid of the water lathe.
