Weather: The state of lost energy that accompanies exposure to the elements. A special case of this energy is “wither”, which is a measurement of the dropping or falling energy field of the exposed object. When that energy reaches zero, it is said to have finished the arc of withering, or to have withered. The general energy of weathering occurs in less final states. The application of weathering energy to aerial phenomena is a measure of the potential the sky has under various circumstances to affect the energy level of articles it contacts.
