While the population may be constantly fluctuating, there holds a constant native population that supports the academies. Picil also maintains an economy that is largely dependent on a magical stone, Amberthyst, a stone that can hold magical energy. These stones are often used Sky Barges and Wind Transports, which allow the steersman a rest, they are limited in how much magical energy they can hold and must be recharged frequently.though they require a wizard trained in the arts, often only found in Picil. Picil was largely an isolated city and never expanded outside to the rest of its territory, using magic to help supplement food and water needs.
