Is steam magic going to be player accessible

This arguments been fucking up a good portion of threads, so I pose the question:
Is steam magic

  1. A placeholder magic specifically to allow steam imbues to exist.
    Evidence: no steam equivalent for fs since steam counts as a a magic, showing a steam magic has to exist for the imbue. Steam is very clearly unfinished despite other things light ancient lightning being finished and unused. Kind of a boring idea, and the imbue is base stats so it would be objectively bad for conjurer (balancing yayyy)
  2. Steam is a magic that will be directly accessible in the future.
    Evidence: exists in game and is usable by devs. Technically has a unique hazard although I don’t know how credible it is (it’s just the steam clouds from a heat magic hitting water). Used to be a futurely obtainable magic in aa.
  • Steam magic will be obtainable as a lost
  • Steam magic will be obtainable as an ancient (the hell are you on)
  • Steam magic will stay imbue exclusive
  • Steam magic will be reworked into something else that will be player obtainable

If steam will be a lost magic I wonder how the imbue would work. I imagine there’s a lot of lost magics that will be straight up upgrades to the base magics they are inspired by, and as it stands, the steam imbue stats are of course on the level of the base magics.

So here’s how I see it.

  • Steam Imbuement is the interaction of two base-level things that would normally create Steam. This creates a direct equivalent to Steam Magic, thus Steam Magic could be implemented into the game easily since it already has visuals, a mechanic, a status effect, and (although not quite ready) stats.
  • This is the same process that seems to have gone into adding an early form of Ancient Lightning, which is accepted by most to be a magic, despite being statistically identical to Lightning, but red. It also lacks a magic circle icon, which is somehow a big argument towards Steam not having one.
  • Furthermore, there’s no such thing as needing to making an entire functional magic just for the sake of an imbuement, which as we’ve seen with Spirit Weapons, can be done with literally anything, not an entire functional magic.

The way I see it, Steam as a Magic would have higher stats than what it has as an imbuement. Maybe the imbue could be renamed to Pseudo-Steam?

It’s closer to the real thing than steam magic is, in a way.
