How far do special imbuements go?

Will imbuing Water onto Scald Tooth Dagger create Steam?

Is the reason Thermo Fist isn’t a heat imbuement because it’s not hot enough, or because it’s not worth programming a switch to Steam only at high heat?

Why is Ash a Steam Imbuement if it’s just hot smoke that gives you asthma? It has those fiery little sparticles, but they’re too small.

And now some other questions I came up with while typing!!!

  • Is Aether a heat magic? Could it make steam?
  • Does the existence of Steam and Food imply Steamed Hams?
  • Is Inferno too hot to create a steam imbuement?
  • Is there any possibility that a Boiling Oil imbuement could come to be?
  • What magic is Ancient Cursed Daggers using?
  • If you imbued Light onto Staff of Night, would it make Equinox?
    • Can Spirit Weapons even make special imbuements?
    • Is Rigel’s Apotheosis a Spirit Weapon?
  • If urchins don’t apply slowness, why does the urchin on a stick do it?
  • Does anybody use Atlantean Bow?
  • How does a Devourer (sword) use Beast Instinct?
  • Why doesn’t Triasta of Bronze have imbuement effects?
    • Actually, same for Poison Tooth Dagger, wouldn’t it make Explosion with Plasma or Fire?

It’s because steam imbue is the imbue of steam MAGIC. Meaning a warlord can’t imbue it (from a technical standpoint)

There’s no steam fs a warlord could use

I would have assumed you’d be one of those folks who persists that “Steam Magic isn’t real” even though

How respectable of you.

Steam magic is real, it’s just not an actual magic but instead a placeholder specifically for the imbuement

Still, the reason it can’t be imbued is I assume the difference between warlords, knights, and conjurers in the games coding is conjurers can ONLY imbue magic, warlords can ONLY imbue fs, and knights can ONLY imbue spirit weapons

I’d betcha if in the future you got a fire spirit weapon and imbued it onto a sunken, it wouldn’t turn to steam either

i wouldn’t trust an exploiter as a source since they can fake magics

no it wouldnt, equinox is only created by shadow MAGIC + light magic
dark spirit energy wouldnt make equinox

I mean, from a technical standpoint, I feel like that wouldn’t matter.

I do think it is fully a magic, but that wouldn’t at all stop it from creating Steam, because from a technical standpoint, Imbuement is Imbuement. it adds visuals and multiplies stats, it’s not like it CAN’T be done.

Nah, it’s a magical effect of darkness and brightness colliding, basically the universe itself being confused.
It doesn’t happen just because it’s magic, it happens because the extra brightness is colliding with the un-brightness.

it does they updated it

Oh, what’s it do?

I just remember before if you combined it with scald tooth dagger it didn’t work but now it does so I assume it does for magic as well now

Well, confusion as more of a metaphor. I feel like it’s just them pushing against each other violently.

Ye but thermo warlock with sunkens just being conjurer is dumb

Yes, but warlocks just can’t imbue magic
I bet there’s only one coded imbuement awakening, it just swaps between what thing you are allowed to imbue.

I’d also bet sailor on a scald tooth doesn’t do steam either

i would imagine its more of light and shadow being opposite types of magic
literal light, like yknow, the Sun doesnt make shadow magic explode into equinox

Warlord is ALREADY just conjurer with gimmicks, might as well go all the way and give the privilege of Steam.

I just assume it’d be coded the same way “If the hot and wet go together, make it steam magic.” I’ve got a feeling it’s just a problem with Thermo itself.

Well, okay, you ARE making me re-think it.
Maybe it’s because Light Magic is a tangible force that makes light that can hurt, and not through Heat like you’d expect from regular light, and Shadow is a tangible force that makes dark that can hurt.
When a thing that makes light and a thing that makes dark hit each other then it’d do Equinox. It doesn’t work with the sun, because the stuff making light is way up there, so shadow can successfully eat the light, but with Light Magic it makes the light too fast, because it’s focused on being bright. The shadow starts getting all freaky because the light is getting on its nerves.

Hard to explain.

So basically, light-absorber hits light-emitter, YEOWCH!!
Staff of Night would theoretically make a light-absorber.

Imagine Black Holes. They’re called black holes because they eated all the light and became black you see. It’s like those, but it just eats all the light, and not all the other stuff.

L take, never cook again

Strength Weapons are just Arcanium Weapons but slow and without Arcanium.
