Scientific Spellcasting. Wind goblins have a strange relationship with science and are able to use what they sincerely believe is scientific invention to mimic the abilities of spellcasters. They also describe arcane concepts in science-like jargon.

The following is a typical allocation of “scientific”, gadget-based spells that a wind goblin might be able to cast, but specific spells vary from goblin to goblin. Wind goblin “science” magic never requires a verbal or material component. Instead, all spells require a gadget focus and the somatic component of turning the cranks and working the levers (etc.) on said focus. The process is usually loud and often smelly or smoky, with superfluous electrical arcing.
