Notes on Dunbine Specs Categories
Luft tons (Lt): A unit of weight where one Luft ton is roughly equivalent to a ton.
Rill: A unit used to indicate speed or distance. The term is derived from rivers and streams. In distance, its base is determined by the length a person has to walk to reach the mouth of a river to its source. In speed, it is approximately 3-5 kph.
Aura conversion performance: A number that indicates the efficiency of aura response. The higher the number, the greater the mobility and output of a unit with a small amount of aura.
Basic aura power: The minimum amount of aura required to power a machine.
Maximum aura power: The highest amount of aura power that an aura converter can absorb. Exceeding that limit will produce no visible effects.
