Magic in the Pentagonal Dominion mixes mystery and wonder with actual hard science. Element-based magic particles exist and can bind with other atoms. Fire elementron attached to mercury atom, for instance, makes a sort of 'watery lava.' When attached to cobalt, the effect varies, but
Welcome to #Febchantment!

This month we're talking magic systems! Whether you're building a new one or yapping about an old one, welcome!

Introduce yourself & your world, including the magic. Keep it brief so you still have plenty to talk about the rest of the month!

And that if the Water elementron is just out in the wild, they can't control it. Experiments are not repeatable. Only when the elementron is bonded to other stuff does it become science, then the elementron acts predictably

if their students can't behave themselves. A selenocysteine-elementron complex. A protein featuring many selenocysteines which are infused with elementrons. These proteins are built in large quantities in organs/parts that are magically potent.

On the contrary, moonbeam silk can only be mass produced *because* of an ecological disaster that happened a thousand years ago. A Wind elementron catastrophe happened and now there’s a constant source of wind. People built the city of Silkymill to take advantage of the new industry.
Has anything happened regarding your raw material with disastrous results, #Marchistics?

Did a war start over it at any point? Were there any BP Oil Spills or rampaging wildfires? What caused them—what between peoples or nature broken down? What as done to contain or heal from it, if anything?

Magic comes from elementrons, the subatomic particles, which in turn are created by the 17 cores. These are the same things that turn a person into a God.

After being created, an elementron will either hang out in its God's blood for a while (if it has a God) or fly off and become
#Febchantment Day 8

This week we're digging more into the nuts & bolts of your magic system! So let's start with the source.

Where exactly does magic "come from" in your world? Where/when does it originate? Does anyone know for sure, or are there only theories?

nuclei of a substance you want to turn magical is how you get magical items. Much of alchemy is the process of getting a magic elementron from one source (usually an animal's body part that produces it naturally) into something usable (like an enchanted gold ring or a potion one can drink)

'manatrons' It's elementrons, actually 😂 And they call the things WE call elements 'atomotypes'

One elementron is equivalent to 2 down quarks, i.e. an elementron is a -2/3 e. They will bind into neutrons randomly and replace their down quarks. When they leave a neutron,

To use an example of my world where magic and science are married and both exist without question:

They understand that two hydrogen atoms bonded into an oxygen is water. They understand that a Water elementron CAN make water... but it might also make oil. Or lemonade, or wine, or sulfuric acid.

drinks their blood will acquire magic powers.

Magic particles ambiently exude off the cores and go "where they're needed" (based on their own science). For instance, if a plant is grown and its DNA calls for a Light elementron in its petals, the elementrons will zip there and join the petal.

elementrons will create two down quarks so the neutron is stable.

Elemental magnetism is the means by which elementrons attract similar (same-element) elementrons both to other neutrons in its atom and to other nearby atoms. In order for elemental magnetism to begin, the elementron must be inside a

elementrons and become nontoxic while also remaining a liquid. So you can mix mercury with (whatever plant or mineral has the elementron you want) and it will become a safe, drinkable liquid. It might also taste like shit, though that's where alchemy becomes ✨art✨ and you add good tasting stuff.

Exactly. If a Godblood received a blood transfusion from a clearblood, that blood they receive will have no elemental affinity. The elementron is physically attached to the blood cell.

But give that Godblood a few months and their body will make their own elemental blood as usual
