Flux Concentration

Flux concentrations, shortened to fluxcons, are areas on Pandora where its magnetic fields overlap with those of Polyphemus, resulting in areas of extreme electromagnetism and strange phenomena. The most notable of these areas is the Flux Vortex, a flux concentration strongest at the Tree of Souls and responsible for lifting the Hallelujah Mountains.
==Description==
Gravitational and magnetic influences of Pandora and its parent planet, Polyphemus, create areas of highly concentrated magnetism. This effect can be exasperated by unobtanium deposits which further distort parts of Pandora's magnetic field. Within these fluxcons, the extreme electromagnetism causes human equipment to malfunction or stop working entirely, forcing them to rely on manual flight modes and VFR to navigate the area.
==Phenomena==
Fluxcons are responsible for several facets of Pandora's unique geology. Within these areas, unobtanium deposits and the land surrounding them can be ripped from the ground and suspended thousands of feet in the air due to quantum locking, creating awe-inspiring floating "mountains" such as the Hallelujah Mountains. Stone Arches also form in areas of flux concentration. The magnetic fields and unobtanium shaped the rocks into their iconic shapes while Pandora was still in its molten phase, then cooled and hardened and were eroded into more precise arches.
