Arcana Americana (Eberron/USK help please)

[LoA]

Ok so I began to use my USK setting again. For those of you who don't remember it, it was basically an Eberron setting where an American city got flung into Darguun, and eventually a three state republic is formed. I finally came to an ultimatum on the issue of "magic" and "technology". Americans eventually get used to magic after a while, and eventually a lot of them see that it's not really "occultish" and not from the devil. In fact scientists have said that from what they can see it probably has more in common with quantum physics than it does with witchcraft. Basically there's a strange force that exists on this planet due to extra dimensions that touch this universe (known as planes) that isn't there on earth. It's not really "evil", its just sort of there, but it can be used for good and evil purposes.

Alright fair enough. Magic is slowly becoming a part of New American society. The real question was what use was it? Well of course there were flying ships, but that didn't seem entirely safe, but they did see the Lightning rail trains coming up into Cyre II and began to wonder why Khorvarians didn't do more with this magic of theirs?

A lot of young Americans have begun starting businesses that revolve around partnering with magicians, and trying to find practical uses for magic in New America.

And that's the one place where I'm kind of stuck. I came up with a few inventions but I wanted to see what you all thought of this, and if you had any interesting ideas of your own? Here are some of the inventions I was able to come up with.

Elemental Generators (the R&C Company)

Ronald Dennsley was a young science geek who loved Electrical engineering. After the Borealis Effect sent Liberty into Eberron he got work at the River Project where they were building a power turbine with the river next to the city. He enjoyed his work but after a while he began to wonder about the potential dangers of a black out and what could happen if the power plant went out or was seized by goblins. His mind began to wonder towards the prospects of personal power. However hew wasn't able to find any real way to make personal power affordable. Well that changed one day when he met a gnome for the first time. An elemental binder from Zilargo named Cahrmak. They talked for a while and were intrigued at each others technologies. Eventually Ronald poked query about if there was such a thing as an "Electrical Elemental", and the gnome began to ponder this. Eventually one thing led to another, and "poof" a Dragonshard electrical generator was invented. The two are now business partners and are doing relatively well.

More to come later.
