Laws of Spin

The secrets of spin have been guarded by the Arcadia at the Academy in Enamella for hundreds of years. The original scholars and students of the art decided that the magic would be better to keep from prying eyes. They had good reason, if the technology got out it would have sparked the industrial revolution a hundred years early, and even today would spark a new field of research and design. A secret is very hard to keep, and an amount of extreme measures are taken to ensure the secrecy of this art.

The main methods are:
1) To learn it, you must be a part of the Arcadia. They do not even talk about the existence of it, and great care must be taken by the members of the Arcadia to ensure its secrecy. The entrance exam is structured in a way to make sure that only those they believe can keep the secret get in.

2) There is a subsect of the Arcadia called the Hunters who will hunt down anyone using unregistered spin, as any person using spin gives off a unique, repeating set of frequencies, generally called their Song. Members of the Arcadia register their Song and Hunters are required to memorize each and every one.

Manifestation

Spin is harnessed by Attuning spheres of various metals. Different elements do a wide variety of things, and are generally divided into several subcategories of three elements.
First, and most simple are the kinetic metals: nickel, copper, and carbon (specifically diamond is most effective). Nickel converts spin into a force applied to one's self. Copper applies a force to an object at a line directly perpendicular from one's self. Carbon converts momentum into spin by applying a force generally called 'Spin Friction'.
Next is the energy metals, iron, tungsten, and magnesium. Iron converts rotational energy to chemical energy within one's body, while tungsten converts rotational energy to static charge onto an object the user is touching. Magnesium converts chemical energy or static charge into rotational energy.
Area metals end off the "normal metals" with tin, aluminum and gold. Aluminum converts rotational energy into light emitted from the sphere. Tin converts rotational energy into heat, and gold converts either light or heat into rotational energy, which either makes it act as a heat sink or appear completely black as all light that hits it is absorbed.
Next are the force metals. These are the least understood as to exactly what they do physically. There are only two (discovered so far) that make up this group. Iridium and osmium. Iridium applies a force away from the sphere to everything. Osmium applies a force towards the sphere in a similar manner. This phenomenon is considered similar to the way gravity works.
Finally, the last group of metals are called 'meta metals', they govern the interaction of spin and are considered the backbone of the field and are the first things that a student of the arts would learn when studying spin. The three that make up this category are silver, chromium, and zirconium. Silver is used to transfer spin between two different spheres, allowing complex systems of spheres connected to each other. chromium can detect the use of attunement by emitting a series of frequencies (the Song) and applying a slight torque on the sphere away from the one being detected. Zircon can detect the presence of attunable metal within a sphere, each emitting a different frequency when the zircon ball is brought close.
