Fuel
The driving force behind world society is elemental fire, and this elemental fire comes in many forms. For example, Pyros is pure soul-flame, found in all living things and Pyroephemera is the stuff of Flamespace, without any solidity or substance save for pure heat if taken out of its native environment.
For vehicles and machinery a different sort of fire is is needed. Industrial Pyros, or Animapyros is a bright clear-burning blue flame that can be used to turn wheels with kinetic force, drive pistons or even raise airships into the sky. Animapyros is inherently transient though, burning for only a few seconds before it extinguishes, albeit with a great intensity of energy release that makes it the only flame of choice for industrial purposes.
To utilise Animapyros it is therefore necessary to generate it on demand. Happily this is easily achieved, by igniting one of the four fuel substances.
Crystalline Pyros Fuel / Stonefuel
Stonefuel accounts for about 40% of society's fuel supply, and is characterised by a slow burn (one jar lasting an hour when burned in an oil lamp) and a relatively low energy output. Stonefuel is often used for powering lamps and heating devices, but tends to be too low-grade to work as vehicular fuel.
