Explosive Interactions! Debating the physics of magic

its magic energy pretending to do stuff
idk you might be right though

yea this is true

Love the footnotes

also why not just everything exploding? different energies right?

because shadow and light and heat and cold are the only real two sets of “energy magics”

just to add on to those here’s some vetex statements on shadow. granted these are from 3ish years ago but honestly I doubt vetex has really changed his perspective on it lol

I say this conceptually as cold magic isnt a confirmed thing

I guess you do raise a good point

i guess cause the other energies aren’t completely opposites like light and shadow or heat and cold

I guess that we will never know whether it’s particles or energy as stated in both of these replies. Thank you for digging these up for me, that reminds me that I should likely do so when it comes to such a subject.

particles of (magic) energy :sunglasses:

but yeah I always try to do a quick vetex keyword search when discussing lore stuff cause you never know if vetex statement #1284 from December 2021 will address the exact subject :sob:

What’s Pressure + Explosion? :flushed:

Either Supernova, Collapse/Implosion, or Matter/Energy.

If there are constructive magic combinations, like Equinox, Steam, and Mud, what if there were destructive magic combinations.

What if we put Poison and Wind together?
Would it just be Wind Magic but it smacks you in the nose with a purple blast?

StockSounds, I hope that you one day learn that you can make your own topics when it comes to completely unrelated questions.
It’s not because this thread was the catalyst to your questions that they should be sent in here.

What the hells does “Debating the physics of magic” mean then, yrni0?

Am I debating the wrong physics?

It is referring to the physics of magic in their interactions, StockSounds, not what lost magics we would get from combining two others.

This is about interactions. If you can combine magics to make good lost magics, what if you tried to combine them to make bad lost magics?

I didn’t ask what it would be called and what gameplay gimmick it would have, I asked what it would do.

“what happens if heat and cold go together”
“idk man, room temperature”

“what happens if poison and wind go together”
“don’t go off topic.”

this is like saying that light and shadow together is just light but this is not the case in arcane odyssey when it comes to magic
