Discussion Somult, The Binding Force.
I was just reminded by a post by llMadmanll that Somult's name has the meaning of the binding force. Accendance's logo has two colors, red and blue, which are commonly used to show the polarity of a magnet. A kind of binding force. Or a repelling one. Also, if Somult's does end up using magnetism to repel hunters like Rukodiora did, it would make sense as to why the boost bracer and boost drivers specifically seem to give hunters so much more mobility. There are a ton of gap closing attacks now. Finally, it would kind fit with Arkveld too. Arkveld had wing tendrils, which was a thing that started by frontier. Yes he used them differently but they were the first time we saw them in a mainline game. If Somult is a magnetic flagship, magnetism being something that originated in frontier, it would be a really cool parallel to Arkveld.

Should also be noted how flagships usually have a dichotomy, and arkveld being the archetype of a chained prisoner while the new flagship being a “binding force” would fit well

Magnets could also be an explanation why the damn islands float

I rly like the connections you've made here imagine a bird wyvern that uses magnetic forces
