[@Drakey] perpetual motion means a lossless system.  Actually, [@Lovejoy][@Draken], the URA is more than just perpetual motion; it's actually violating the first law of thermodynamics (as currently implied).

Madrys has two ether circuits:

1) her core, which never loses any energy and is thus a perpetual motion machine

2) her body, or frame, which does use up energy. However, this energy comes from a separate tank of fuel, not her core.

Also, as for violating thermodynamics, we can always say that the Generator works by forcibly drawing power out of Omestris through the ether of his people, however no one has realized this as of yet.
