Why would the magic atoms heat the Dark Sea up? Would they just not do both of these things at once? Magic at it’s core is just a type of energy attempting to mimic some other form of it.
thewhatever bs magic atoms there end up existing are not just responsible for heating things up
(Cold magics exist)
its just where i personally think it is and the aberration is in the southern war seas not dark sea.
well all in all atoms keep moving because it is almost impossible to reach 0 kelvin. Anyhow I forgot to say but not just magic atoms, like air molecules affected by the magic atoms heating up and whatever, all I can say without frying my brain is that magic atoms or whatever molecular atoms in the air are moving FAST to the point it raises the temperature.
think we’re cursing someone with this one
im not sure magic is made of atoms, its magic so it doesnt really have a science behind it, it just kinda is its own thing that cant be explained
I think there’s a lack of depth. Atoms don’t heat up on their own. The heat of atoms comes mainly from radiation caused by infrared rays, which is “heat.” There are various ways to create heat or cold, but it’s not just a natural state of any atom..
The Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) is one of the states of matter where atoms become clustered together to form a “super atom.” We’re not sure if an atom at 0 Kelvin would actually be stationary or would form something that wouldn’t be stationary. ( Just a fun fact

Vetex has stated pk was made up of magic atoms, implying there is magic atoms.
I actually didnt know the former, ty for letting me know. I used knowledge from what i learned in science for the fact of atoms moving creating heat and yada yada.

it’s moreso that their atoms are supercharged with magic energy, not that they are made of magic atoms
I mean it could be that there’s some kind of particle behind magic energy, but as far as I know it’s never been specifically explained

so on a chemistry level, would magic have a + or - charge?
(random question I was thinking abt)
probably not even vetex or tech know that
Magic is born of chaos an entity embodying destruction and malice.
So negative (it’s bs but the lore in general is bs so it checks out)
most of AO is bs but i fw that

magic is unstable and a false, perhaps exaggerated replica of what is (creation, physical matter) so it may even be fake / temporary particles as a whole
That makes a lot of sense and gives spirit a lot wiggle room for it’s capabilities since it can summon actual physical phenomena (and all sources of physical non magical attacks do percent damage then imagine lore accurate spirit users)

The magic quark, the Arcaneotron
Ok real talk, since animals do percent damage because they don’t use magic and instead act like real animals. And that vetex keeps hammering on that humans in ao are same as ones irl but with magic bs. Which means that ANY physical phenomenon should deal percent damage in lore (vetex plz don’t make tornadoes and lightning do percent damage). AND spirit energys entire distinction from magic is the ability to conjure real elemental attacks and actual alter the terrain.
Shouldn’t spirit users in lore be disgustingly OP? I swear if vetex says some bullshit like “oracles unconciously imbue magic into their attacks so they act like all the other magic of magic adjacent stuff” i’d be LIVID.
Oracles should be in lore a mages direct counter.
But of course the mage agenda does not care for logic nor lore.

real talk vetex has no idea what he’s doing and is just coming up with stuff on the fly

It has a lot of restrictions.
First, you cant really weeld it without a relic, which are already EXTREMLY rare for average person.
And second, you need a higher level of precision in your intents to use them beside basic energy emission.
Why? At their rawest, they both are energies that can clash and yada yada.
Magic can shape the energy with intent into doing specific things but limited to said energy. Basicly see magic energy as clay you can mold hoever you want and put needles into to harm or cover it with medecine if you want to heal.
Magics can be filtered out through magic circles for elements, which amplify and lower certain aspects of it.
Spirit on the other hand, can…Well, we dont know much what can it do, beside generic high level info, but even so, we can understand that they can control natural phenomens and living tissues. But again, that requires MUCH, MUCH MUCH MUCH higher mastery.
Theoretically, i think Spirit should have higher skill ceeling than magic, and by a long shot, but it can also kill or deform you.
Say hello to the love town.
I like looking at it like this:
If you know JJK, you know that their power system’s energy - Cursed Energy (CE) enchances body and stuff. But if you run out you are like a basic human.
You probably can jump from a high building and be semi fine with CE reinforcments, but will splatter without it.
So maybe its same in AO game / lore, that yes, you are more durable againts magic attacks and have higher stamina, but if you are caught off guard, you wont be able to reinfornce in time.
Same as drowning. You are a human, just with reinforcment that you need to put up.
At least thats how i see it.
