-- leylines are invisible force-currents that rise up from the core of the earth, carrying magical energy upwards. they weaken as they get closer to the surface. each leyline also has between one and three 'affinities', which control how easily they can be wielded to perform particular sorts of magic. for instance, praxic-affine leylines will charge wands enchanted with praxic spells more quickly than leylines lacking this affinity.
-- leylines are one of two mystic energy forms; the other is aetheric energy, which is beamed down from Heaven by the sun during the day and is the power wielded by the gods. mortals can make limited use of aetheric force by collecting it and beaming it from place to place -- see aether.lua (aether is stored and manipulated by use of diamond)
-- leylines are always available, unlike aetheric force, which can only be collected during the day. but aetheric force is accessible wherever one can see the sky, and the higher up you are, the more you can collect, whereas leylines vary randomly in strength and affinity by position.

-- leyline energy can be transmitted via a conduit from a leysink. however, it cannot be stored like aetheric energy can be; leyline energy must be drawn when needed unless it is bound up in an enchantment (which simply delays its expression). leysinks provide a constant source of ley-force.
-- there are two nodes for transmitting leyline energy, wires and conduits. wires transmit a limited amount of energy, but are cheap and small. conduits transmit much more, but are expensive and take up full blocks. both are composed of electrum, the carrier, and copper, which prevents the ley-force from leaking out as dangerous radiance.
