==The Basics==

Gummi Blocks (AKA Star Fragments) are small, brightly colored blocks that often land after what appears to be a meteor shower. They are heavily resistant to heat or cold. When bonded, they form a complete environmental seal.

Magic directly applied to Gummi Blocks has various effects. Black Magic, since it mostly consists of hurling gobs of elemental stuff at things, affects Gummi Blocks as would the application of an appropriate amount of force would have normally. White Magic does appear to work on Gummi Blocks, but is less effective. For maximum effectiveness, one should use a Gummi Block dedicated to repair.

The blocks do not float, generate power, shoot, or exhibit any special abilities until they are activated by exposure to [[Gummispace]], upon which they begin floating and will propel themselves when controlled to do so.

You can take them back apart once they are connected, but only in their inert state.

For those who are wondering, Gummi Blocks are edible. They are nontoxic and will digest without incident. They have a variety of flavors and textures based on their color and function. It’s almost like some kind of SCIENCE CANDY.

You probably don’t want to go to Gummispace after eating one however. It would be uncomfortable. Very, very uncomfortable.

==That's Cool, Now What Do I Do With Them?==

Gummi Blocks (Also known as Star Fragments) connect to each other (and only to each other) when in their inert state. They can be disconnected easily enough as well. When exposed to Gummispace, Gummi Blocks grow significantly, generating a protective field around them commensurate with their nature as fragments of a Barrier of Light. This field protects occupants from Heartless assault, as well as the problems inherent to traveling through the Darkness.

There are a large variety of Gummi Blocks. Some of them act as engines, others speed boosters. There are blocks to create a control cockpit, additional armoring, a variety of special effects, and even weaponry.

Aerodynamics are irrelevant in Gummispace. There is no air to worry about there. The maneuverability of a Gummiship is entirely dependent upon the blocks used to make them. Fighting the Heartless between the worlds is not the same as fighting them on foot. The massive Heartless that appear in Gummispace are blocked from the worlds by the Barriers of Light in most cases, and the Heartless always seek to break apart a Gummiship to gain the hearts within. Should a Gummiship take enough damage, it will break apart, rendering those within unprotected against the Darkness and the Heartless within. They will need good friends or great luck to survive... And perhaps land in a place that will be kind to them.

==Star Shards==

Star Shards are a special kind of Gummi Block, appearing as a star-shaped crystal. They do not require exposure to Gummispace, but they do travel using it. Those who are well-versed in using them can travel quickly and safely between worlds. Those who are not familiar, however, will find the power of the Shards are wild and not easily tamed. They can be flung anywhere within the worlds, at any time. The power is mysterious and difficult to master, should one even manage to find one of these extremely rare objects in the first place.

	Gummi Blocks are strange, polyhedral blocks that come in a multitude of colors (and even accept paint!). Most often, they are seen in the form of shooting stars, leading to some calling them ‘star fragments’. They make strange bouncing noises when they hit the ground, and are useful for a number of applications, most specifically travelling through [[Gummispace]].

There are limits to how many blocks will fit together, however. Everything seems to be based around a 'Cockpit Gummi'. These Gummi types seem to increase how large the ship created can be, up to certain limits.
 The application of [[magic]] to Gummiblocks has various effects. Offensive magic affects Gummiblocks much as it would affect anything else in general, though remembering their natural resilience. Curative magic seems to reinforce or repair damage dealt to the Gummiblocks, albeit with less effectiveness.

 Gummi Blocks do not do anything unless exposed to Gummispace. Until then, they are little more than interesting curiosities. An exception to this, however, is the use of Synthesis to make various single-use items that can draw out the power of the Gummi Block… Though it is generally less effective than magic. Science rules!

 ==Acquiring Gummi Blocks==
-The most common methods of getting Gummi Blocks involve being in the right place at the right time to pick up the results of a shooting star shower. Those with less patience and more money can consult Chip and Dale in Traverse Town for advice, assistance, and one of a variety of starter kits. Blocks or kits can be found almost anywhere, however, depending on who you talk to. Gummi Blocks are not particularly rare in general.

 ==Destroying Gummi Blocks==
-Gummi Blocks are resilient but not indestructable. They can be destroyed with enough effort or under certain logical circumstances (you put HOW MANY Flare-Gs in there?). More likely, however, one is going to run into problems dealing with the massive Heartless that infest Gummispace, as they attempt to destroy the Gummiship to acquire the Hearts within. Should a Gummiship take enough damage within Gummispace, it will break apart, rendering those within unprotected against the Darkness and the Heartless within. They will need good friends or great luck to survive... And perhaps land in a place that will be kind to them.

+The most interesting point about Gummiships, however, is that upon exposure to Gummispace through entry points known as Void Points, they enlarge, becoming full-size craft that a person can enter, pilot, and explore Gummispace within. The Gummiship provides for all environmental needs of the passengers within through whatever magic makes them work. The various Gummis attached to the ship activate, performing various functions based on what exact type they are. Some are used for offense, some for defense, and others for mobility or special effects. You cannot, however, disassemble a Gummiship while in Gummispace (unless it is forcefully broken apart, of course). You must land and return it its inert state first.
