that spinny thing, the gold ring on the silver-plated magnetic hematite dowel that's coated in wood.

the idea is to create a strong positive ionic charge on the gold ring spinning it around the core, then fling it at someone. during a lightning storm.

it's a common feature of mountain environments as there are many ways for organized groups of people to exacerbate storm conditions, even creating storms out of nothing potentially. This is how the Sahara Desert was created, for instance.

Magnets?

room temperature semi-conductors; there's a lock and split technique to the construction and throwing that makes the disks fly straight along their arc as they dissipate charge.

if the storm was bad enough, and it was thrown at the right height to create a pressure differential along its wake, it'd drop lightning curtains behind the disk as it flew. but using say long staves, to fling at height after charging with, then the charge and leverage differentials of the staff create relativistic charge and momentum differentials. beyond what the initial process already causes. the exact sorts of things newton had a hard time describing, and 'invented' calculus to try and mimic the complex infinitesimal interactions happening in a situation like this.

I think the term is plasmanetics for the dynamic. magnetics are a component of what's happening.

there's a nepalese item made out of gold-plated skulls and bones and things that function similarly, without the throwing, but are more like lightning rods to direct atmospherics at a distance using spin charge. it's a pretty rare skill though, so didn't really stop colonization (not that these sorts of things ever do.) they've become a psuedo-religious artifact that's not allowed to be exported by international law, despite nepal itself not really caring.
