| Nov 7, 2019 at 21:08 | comment | added | Matthew | Aside from something like Renan's answer (they are actually some form of "natural"/biological phenomena), I'm pretty sure this is impossible with known technology. However, Renan also has a point about Clarke's Third Law. I could, for instance, readily imagine something like this happening on a Forerunner installation and no one would think it was "magic". | |

| Nov 7, 2019 at 20:30 | comment | added | MrSpudtastic | This question might be a bit too broad for you to get any meaningful answers. No scientific constraints are given, and you have already established the presence of fantasy elements in the form of dragons. You ask for a "rational" method for this, but given the vague setting, almost anything attached to the word "magic" would do it. | |
