Some [[The Verse|settings]] ''have'' [[Phlebotinum]]. It helps [[Screw theNew Rules Ias Havethe Plot Demands|move along the plot]], [[Hand Wave]] various characters' [[Willing Suspension of Disbelief|improbable]] powers, and conveniently get the [[Heroes]] [[Teleporters and Transporters|from point A to point B quickly]]. It can let you just say [[A Wizard Did It]].
 
But then some settings...are different. They have nothing ''but'' Phlebotinum. That [[City of Adventure]] the heroes are exploring around? It's completely [[Floating Continent|floating]] in the air; not one building is touching the ground. Why? Phlebotinum! In fact, the whole planet is probably bound together with some sort of magical or super-science energy, without which it would simply [[Earthshattering Kaboom|explode]]. Every single thing around requires whatever the local flavor of Phlebotinum is to run in worlds such as these, whether it's [[Functional Magic|magic]], [[Nanomachines]], [[The Force]], or something else similar.

** No, you can't. That's why attempting to do so is bankrupting Cornelia. Their king is just crazy.
