Glassing

Glassing is a term used by Fifth Swell inhabitants to describe a Sky Island's Crystal being destroyed by orbital bombardment.

Outcome
Because the crystal of a sky island is linked to all plant growth and the source of the sky island's capacity to stay afloat, "glassing" will typically destroy a sky island or render it uninhabitable for a period of time and permanently destroy the sky island's ability to grow plants.
