[She resumes shuffling through shelves as she gathers her thoughts and starts explaining.]
Blastia cores are derived from apatheia, which are...solid, incredibly dense masses of aer. They're so dense I thought they could never realistically exist, but it turned out they do.
[She peeks behind a book pile, and--there they are, tea leaves...she's pretty sure. She returns to the table so they can start preparing tea. With this particular subject, her voice is softer than usual compared to when she would normally talk about magic and blastia. This is clearly not something she's proud of.]
There's a race of creatures in my world called Entelexeia--I thought they were monsters when I first saw them, but they were actually totally different. They're capable of ingesting aer, which they did to regulate the balance of aer around the planet. And...when one dies, all that aer they'd taken in over hundreds, maybe thousands of years...would leave behind an apatheia. And the ancients figured out how to use and process them into blastia cores...
[She can't argue that they had a pretty good reason to hate blastia.]
