Spelljammer

A spelljammer is the generic term given to any vehicles that traverse the phlogiston of the Astral Sea traditionally through the use of fan-shaped sails that catch and ride phlogiston waves and a spelljamming helm.   Generic spelljammers are named after, and should not be confused with, the Spelljammer, the ancient and gigantic spelljamming vessel that has existed for as long as space travel has.

Propulsion

The vast majority of spelljammers propell themselves through a combination of catching phlogiston currents and through the use of spelljamming helms, which convert arcane, psionic, divine, or primal magic into raw energy. However, the methods of propulsion are as varied as the number of spelljammers there are. For instance, the citadels of the spacefaring dwarves are powered by the heat of their forges while beholders raises stunted versions of themselves to functionally serve as living spelljamming helms.

Weapons & Armament

While very few spelljammers are entirely unarmed, as the Astral Sea is always a dangerous place, the power and threat of those weapons is variable, from great warships to simply adorned merchant vessels.
