For the record, the Weather Gifts create weather, even in space.

Sue considers the following Gifts to be the most likely candidates:

Wand of the Gith

Gloves of Folding

Feather of the Gray Eagle

Boots of Gravity

Void Wings

Hammer of Rivers

Wand of Vapors

Psionist's Cap

Scabbard of Weaponry

Sword of Miracles

Sword of Noise

Cross of Sound

Cape of the Thunderbird

Sail of the Jet Stream

Sword of Travel

Wheel of Teleportation

Key of Infinite Passage

Coil of Movement

Hammer of Far Throwing

Chemist's Flask

Physicist's Ball

The Gift scholars spoke at length on Gifts that may or may not have propulsive properties, or at least capabilities of reaching a moon somehow.

1. The Wand of the Gith:

"It's said that the gith could fold space to allow their ship to pass through it. Theoretically, this wand could do just that."

Short list.

2. Sword of Magnetism:

"Ever play with magnets? Try putting some of them together, their poles will push away from each other. The Sword will allow absolute control of magnetism, & thus, propulsion!"

Could leave us stranded in a magnetically inert region of space, long list.

3. Gloves of Folding:

"...Which will fold space at your command, depending on your own dexterity, of course."

Short list.

4. Boots of Moon Jumping:

"Literally, jump from moon to moon! Of course, this doesn't do you much good, seeing as how it's currently on the moons."

Inaccessible, rejected.

5. Rope of Orbit:

"Just lasso down the moons."

Showy. Long list.

6. Sail of the Empty Sky:

"They'll propel your craft with or without the air to push them. Also not much use, as they're being used on some gith craft right now."

Inaccessible, rejected.

7. Oars of the Empty Sea:

"Similar powers to the sails, but difference method. Also on the moons at the moment."

Inaccessible, rejected.

8. Feather of the Gray Eagle:

"Put it in your cap, hold it in your hand, or mount it on your ship's mast, & you'll be able to glide on air currents that aren't even there."

Short list.

9. Exploder Sling:

"There's probably other Fire Gifts that can create a propulsive energy, but this one would make the most that I can think of."

Combustion without oxygen? Long list.

10. Boots of Gravity:

"It's said that King Rustav of Ledea--now long gone--used to walk on the ceiling with these."

Short list.

11. Void Wings:

"Imagine how a bird uses air currents to fly? These let you use void currents to do the same."

Short list.

12. Void-Maker Pot:

"If you can think of the form of void you need to create propulsion, you can pull it from this pot."

Interesting, but what kind of void would CREATE propulsion? Rejected.

13. Trident of the Sea:

"With mastery of the seas, you could cause a fountain of water to shoot up, throwing your craft with sufficient power."

Could leave us stranded on dry land, rejected.

14. Hammer of Rivers:

"Create a river with the strike of this hammer, flowing backward from the craft. The force of the gush might create enough propulsion."

Would I have to hit the hull hard? Then again, it would solve the water-storage issue. Short list.

15. Wand of Vapors:

"Watch the tea kettle closely. See how the steam jets out, lifting the lid?"

Short list.

16. Psionist's Cap:

"I tell you, it will make you telekinetic! Gifted Telekinesis would be strong enough to lift mountains!"

Short list.

17. Scabbard of Weaponry:

"Just pull out a catapult."

Short list.

18. Staff of the Swarm:

"Command a swarm of locusts to carry you, see?"

Locusts, like all respiratory beings, die in a vacuum. Rejected.

19. Lance of Flares:

"A localized solar flare might have the power to lift a ship, I'd say. Just don't leave anything you love underneath it."

Dangerous, long list.

20. Spear of the Prominence:

"Similar to the Lance, but with a different form of solar anomaly."

Dangerous, long list.

21. Sword of Miracles:

"Anything you want to happen, really."

Short list.

22. Giant's Hammer:

"With Gifted Strength of that magnitude, you could throw the ship!"

External propulsion method, rejected.

23. Sword of Noise:

"If sound can be made to lift a ship, this weapon will do it."

Short list.

24. Cross of Sound:

"For a more pleasant experience..."

Short list.

25. Nail of Life:

"Just bring the ship to life & tell it to find a way to propel itself."

What if it's not clever enough? Long list.

26. Magic Gifts:

"Many Gifts of Magic will allow you magical prowess such that you can devise a way to do it."

Theoretical issues. Long list.

27. Rabbit Boots:

"I heard tell of a man who jumped to Cassaru from southern Ranu with these."

Will the ship need leg-holes? Long list.

28. Cape of the Thunderbird:

"Powerful wings, these."

Short list.

29. Sword of Lightning, Hammer of Thunder, Armor of the Tempest, Mail of Weather, Ring of the Hurricane, Scythe of Cyclones, Wand of the Derecho:

"All will create weather that could potentially propel a craft."

What kind of weather exists in space? Long list.

30. Coil of Pressure:

"Control the air pressure! Think about it! A sudden change might create such conditions as to create lift!"

Requires an external atmosphere. Rejected.

31. Sail of the Jet Stream:

"Very fast as well."

Short list.

32. Wind Gifts:

"Most of them would allow you to control air enough to create lift."

Further research needed. Long list.

33. Luck Gifts:

"Theoretically, these allow the impossible to happen, if they're not the other kind of luck Gift."

Dangerous. Rejected.

34. Sword of Dragons, Wand of Dragons, Dragon Statue, Blue Thunder Ring, Drake's Wings, Ring of Dragon Form:

"Basically, control over dragons or their form or power & you have a pretty good chance of getting the lift & propulsion you need."

Further research needed. Long list.

35. Sword of Travel, Wheel of Teleportation, Key of Infinite Passage:

"You wouldn't much need the ship if you had these."

Short list.

36. Coil of Movement:

"Really, you could just pilot the ship with this."

Short list.

37. Hammer of Far Throwing:

"Theoretically, if tied to the ship, it would pull the ship with it when thrown."

Short list.

38. Dagger of Various Effects:

"Who knows? One of the affects could be to provide propulsion!"

Requires further research, long list.

39. Chemist's Flask, Physicist's Ball:

"Either of these could create properties needed for propulsion."

Short list.

40. Crossbow of Destruction, Bracers of Destruction:

"The blast would lift you if you shot it down. Just watch out for your feet."

Dangerous. Long list.
