Someone explain to me why Plasma and Lightning are separate

I was never good in Physics or Chemistry but I would like an explanation to why Plasma and Lightning are two seperate magics?

From what I’ve researched Plasma isn’t an element in itself, it’s actually a fundamental state of matter. So why is it considered a separate magical element then other magics. Also I might be mistaken here but isn’t Plasma and Lightning like SUPER similar, why aren’t they just the same?

Lightning = (pretty much) just electricity
plasma = super heated gas

they aren’t the same (although lightning does produce plasma)

both can technically be considered plasma, but that doesn’t mean they’re the same thing

plasma magic itself refers to superheated air
lightning magic refers to the discharge of electricity

the PROPERTIES are different, which is what matters

Plasma: haha electrons go brrr
Electricity: haha electrons go brrr

Wouldn’t that make plasma, wind magic?

Bro exactly. Same flipping thing

lightning is a shit ton of electrons moving from point A to point B

plasma is a state of matter where the nuclei can separate to form a soup of neutrons, protons and electrons.

Fun fact: plasmas are electrically conductive, meaning that if you were to stand on the sun, you would get electrocuted

God speed Pedro. Only thing I’m still curious about is why Plasma is an element when in real life its a state of matter?

you’re curious why plasma is an element but not shit like shadow?

go away dragass

good point

fuck you too uwu <3

@Maskiert why would this matter, like, at all
would being a state of matter prevent something from being a type of magic?

No but it just seems weird in contrast with the other magics which often take on the form of some conjuring of an element

your art still looks worse than my traced d8 in paint :heart:

magic energy is simply a good actor, if we had the technology of our modern world tailored to work with magic energy and what not, we would probably be able to fully control its properties
