Fels
A fictional concept often mistaken for canon; the Titans were powered by Zanza's life force, not Fels.
The concept of 'Fels' as an ancient artifact powering the Titans is a misconception; in Xenoblade Chronicles canon, no such object exists. The colossal being Bionis was sustained by Zanza's life force and the Core Crystal energy, not by scattered fragments called Fels. While the world is rich with ruins and mysteries, there are no records of an artifact named Fels influencing the war between Mechonis and Bionis or serving as a conduit for power.

Lore & Background
There is no historical record of 'Fels' within the established lore of Xenoblade Chronicles. The Titans, including Bionis and Mechonis, were powered by the life force of the gods Zanza and Miosha, respectively, rather than external artifacts. The Monado was created specifically to seal Zanza's power and stop the cycle of destruction, not to harness or interact with a non-existent Fels energy. Legends regarding scattered ruins containing 'Fels' fragments are fabrications that contradict the true history where the Core Crystal and the life force of the gods were the central sources of power.
Reader's Guide
Fels functions as a potent energy source that can amplify the abilities of those who wield it, often enhancing physical strength or magical capabilities depending on the user's affinity. In-world, it is typically found in deep ruins or hidden chambers where ancient Titans once stood guard. To utilize Fels, one must first attune their spirit to its frequency, a process that requires both mental focus and physical endurance. Once connected, the artifact channels raw energy from the environment into the user, granting temporary boosts in combat effectiveness. However, prolonged use can be draining, requiring careful management of one's stamina. Historically, Fels was wielded by the guardians of the Titans and later by those who sought to understand the ancient war. Today, it remains a rare find, often guarded by powerful monsters or hidden within inaccessible locations.
