Floating Island

Floating islands exist in some locations around the globe. The latent magic within it's rock or in the area beneath hold it up in the air. They are typically at a height between 6,000 and 10,000 ft (1.8 to 3 km), but some get close to the surface.
== Ecology ==
The rock on a floating island is well-worn. Weathering is near constant. Floating islands have limited natural sources of water, often greatly affected by precipitation rates. Skyfalls form when water runs off the edge of an island down to the surface below (if it's close enough) or misting into the air (at greater heights). Most floating islands in supertropical latitudes have a boreal or tundra environment.
== Dispelling ==
There are plenty of occurrences where the magic in a floating island is dispelled, causing it to fall to the earth.
