We are deep into the night. I dont know how late exactly. And its not like knowing would change anything. We are on it. We are so damn close.
Lets start with sothing that might have been a little confusing for you. My first assumption while creating gamma rays was that Light Magic would have a wave-like behavior. What does that an? Well, gamma rays are electromagnetic radiations. They are photons that run very fast. I an, its not that easy. But yeah you get the point.
Now, if gamma rays are not particles and we know that it ans that they could be generated directly in the form of [Light]. Why? Well, we supposed that Light Magic was not particulate. Therefore, as long as you accelerated [Light] fast enough, it would beco a gamma ray. Again, not exactly. Just bear with .
Lord Juler and I had tried to mix and match electromagnetic waves made of [Light] again, not 100% sure what we were doing to accelerate them. Or just to fuck them up bad enough to create X-rays. From there, the idea was just to amplify the process enough to produce gamma rays.
Turns out we were doing it all wrong. I got a suspicion from the book we just read. As he was explaining the weird nature of [Light] magic, I realized that I had always considered the magic as a wave. I also ran a couple of experints to confirm that. And, man, even though I hypothesized that magic existed in a different dinsion and stuff like that, I still didnt think of the most likely option.
It was simple.
Elegant, almost.
Magic is its own particle.
That explains so many things. You rember the shielding experint to block [Light]? It was the one before my head almost exploded from all the research. Long story short, magic has non-physical properties. However, it can influence the world, obviously. It interacts non-linearly with itself. By non-linearly, I an that you cannot quantify or qualify its behavior in any single category. Its an asymtrical law, sothing that doesnt follow its tenets until it enters the real world.
What?
What does that an?
Its simple.
Magic only starts behaving physically once it enters the realm of things. If magic turns into fire, it can be extinguished by water. But even then, not all magical fire can be put out by water or the lack of oxygen. So, is this new law true? Well, it depends. Fire is basically a very high kinetic movent, right? What if you create an intrinsic forcefield not exactly, but you get the idea and use it to repel the external influences that would impede the self-propagating agitation of the particles?
Sadly, even though Lord Juler is now obsessed with the idea of asymtrical behavior, we cant prove anything. Yet. It would require a massive team of [Mages] running experints non-stop for who knows how long. However, once proven I dont know. Again, its magic. Theres only so much we can know. But if my new theory is true, it ans that theres no one perfect casting thod. Even my way is just restrictive. Thats why this discovery would be massive. If magic really behaves asymtrically until it reaches the real world, it ans you can conjure magic however you want. If you could conjure magic by eating grilled ducks and you were a master at it, you would beco an [Archmage] most likely a [Duck Archmage].
However, this is just a collateral discovery. Its not sothing that directly influences the radiation. By this, I an the fact that we could conjure magic from duck-eating. I believe I could have very productive discussions with so [Shamans]. Why? Because if Im right, theres a massive empathetic elent that goes into creating magic. If Im right, spell matrixes could be re lines in the mud. Why need them if you can just scoop the mud up with your hands? Well, again, this is all conjecture.
Now.
To us.
If magic does not need to change its pre-reality to any specific form, we can simply try to reproduce gamma rays. We dont need to find ways to accelerate [Light] to insane speed and spew gamma rays from our butts. We simply need to create a pre-reality that fits an outco that poops out gamma rays.
Do you know how the stupid hat improves visualization and a thousand other things? It also helps retrieve information from your brain. And even though Lord Juler believed that it would only help with processing power, it actually gives you a better mory. Not surprising. The brain is quite complex, and things often end up in a different place than what we had planned for them.
If I think of my spells as electromagnetic waves, or even better, particulate rays, I can do great stuff. Why? Well, thanks to the hat, I rembered an experint where they produced gamma rays through. Lets review for a second how you usually obtain gamma rays mostly through radioactive decay. So, you would put sothing like an isotope of Cobalt into your machine to create a gamma knife. Also, cosmic rays, and I have been thinking about them a lot.
To be fair, cosmic rays are what triggered this epiphany about magic.
Why?
Cosmic rays are high-speed electrons or protons that collide with random stuff and generate high-energy waves like gamma rays. And here, my trail of thought gets a bit taphysical and hard to follow, be warned. If Light Magic is the manipulation of stuff that brings to radiation aning that manipulating any radiation, ionizing or non-ionizing, is a thing of [Light] Then magic itself can only be made in particles. Why? Because if it were not, parts of this class would be impossible to access. Not even Lord Juler, the [Supre Archmagus], managed to produce anything that would give us real results for the guide or the gamma knife. And based on this very empirical finding, I firmly believe that magic has its own particles and that these particles can create gamma rays if used properly.
