The Trevians owe much of their early economic success to their being mostly naturally ‘tuned.’ The Saverians tend to have little to no natural halcia-concentration capability and require focani (singular: focanus), small devices consisting of a magnetic stone and some associated wiring that are implanted into the shoulder or the back of the lower arm. These devices facilitate the concentration and passage of halcia through the body and have about a three-year functional period before they wear out—shorter if the user is doing quite a bit of daily usage.
The Trevians have a virtual monopoly on the focani trade, though a number of black markets do exist. Saverians are also not the only ones who have themselves implanted with focani—some Trevians, particularly soldiers, do as well as a quick and easy way to increase their power.
Halcia technology exists in conjunction with steam technology. Halcia is commonly used to power lights, heaters, and a form of air conditioning in Trevian towns, has received recent application in engines, and is used in various medical devices. The infamous corona field consists of an oversized, precisely cut focanus core, a number of smaller cores and wires for additional concentrating capacity, and a clockwork timer.
