Eye Of Judgement
From Flight From Darkness
A massive magitech focusing device, this is both weapon and part of the drive system. The most visible part, from the outside, is the giant lens on the bottom of the ship, which projects a drive field and - if fired - would emit a searing pulse of concentrated sunlight.
If only there were sunlight. Sol is dead, and even if he were not, his rays would not reach this far into the Wyld. The sunlight collectors ringed around Deck 7 are in varying states of disrepair. In theory, Solar Essence might possibly be used to fire it, and a station has been set up for Solars to feed motes as ammunition, but this has not yet been tested. By some estimates, it would take more Solar Essence than is currently on board to fire even once...but the estimates could be wrong. According to the blueprints, firing it would also take transforming into "siege mode" - a configuration where the Titan's plates are extended flat, instead of arrayed in a pentagonal pyramid - but this may only have been to allow the sunlight collectors open access to sunlight. This, too, has not yet been tested.
Since gravity is local to the Tower and each plate (see Interplate Transit), and orientation is meaningless in the Wyld except when there is something to orient relative to, the Titan can fly at any angle - and, theoretically, could therefore fire the Eye at any angle, simply by aiming the entire ship. This matters because the Eye's impact would explode in a ring, perpendicular to the direction of fire, so it might be possible to slice the ground of a solid waypoint in two by hitting something above it. No one thought to test if this was possible in Creation until after the ship had left Creation.
In the mean time, the drive field propels the ship through the Wyld, and keeps it airborne in any waypoint with solid ground. Even at minimum power, when "landed", the ship does not actually make contact with the ground. How exactly this works is extensively documented in the Archives, and the technicians who work on it could go on at length about it, but most people only care that it does work.
Thick cables for power distribution are a more common wall here than actual walls. There is an emergency bridge set into the roof, above the center of the Eye's lens, but it has not been used except for drills and tests since the Titan was reactivated.
