From C3EP49 about the skyship, but I think it'll help make sense of Laerryn's work since most of it was a little vague.
You also learn more about brumestone with those high rolls, too. → Brumestone is naturally buoyant within. When it is excavated or pulled from the ground of Exandria, it just lifts and stays where it is. It's easily pushed, and seems to float on its own, and it's through charges of arcane energy that its buoyancy is adjusted, and that's how the ship works. Each of these controls controls these very, very faint runes that are marked along the deck of the ship, either underneath or on top of it, and you can see where they all connect to the different brumestone devices, and so with each different point of control, it raises the amount of power that's going to them. It doesn't take a lot.
Obviously, she doesn't just work with keeping the city afloat but distributing all that arcane energy across the city for the different systems of the Court of Working --- so we'd have a head of sanitation and water management, the different transportation methods, communication crystals, automatons, etc --- and vouching for infrastructure projects in regards to arcane requirements.
Also, evidently, runes specialist. If a major arcane device isn't working as it probably should, she's the one to inspect its runic pattern and patch it.
Not to mention denfences and others.
