Skanal
Skanal refers to a fictional element or concept appearing in speculative fiction, often a form of energy, material, or phenomenon with unique properties. While not a scientifically recognized entity, it serves as a narrative device to drive plot, introduce conflict, or explore thematic elements within a story. The specific characteristics of skanal vary widely depending on the author and the universe it inhabits. It might be a source of immense power, a dangerous contaminant, a key to unlocking advanced technology, or even a manifestation of abstract ideas. Its presence typically introduces an element of mystery and wonder, prompting characters to understand, control, or overcome it. The name itself often suggests a connection to scanning, analysis, or a perhaps a more sinister implication of "scan all."
