Well no, because there’s not one that would intake the other, it’s just hot thing + cold thing = not cold no more.
You could say I guess that if cold is the absence of heat, then the cold saps the heat, but the heat makes more heat, and then a similar thing happens.
HEAT IS ENERGY, COLD IS LACK OF ENERGY
LIGHT IS ENERGY
SHADOW IS LACK OF ENERGY?
what bro 
I see what you’re getting at now, aight, I see the vision.
If the shadow magic slurping up the consistent light magic causes an explosion, then the cold magic slurping up the consistent heat magic causes an explosion.
Heat and a “cold” together wouldn’t really be like equinox, because they’d more likely neutralize each other than anything
Equinox is so powerful because light and shadow cannot properly mix, making it unstable. Heat and a potential cold wouldn’t have the same effect as far as I can tell.
so why does shadow and light work?
well technically light and shadow should mix to just make slightly less bright light, so i don’t see why heat and cold couldn’t work if vetex decided so
I was just trying to say a hot cold equinox magic would be cool alongside the shadow light equinox magic (which Idk if thats even a confirmed thing) because its the same concept overall. Magics are well magic and are more so the idea of a concept?
like obviously shadow is not a real thing rather a man made concept to define the absence of light
Equinox is definitely coming
It’s one of the older and more popular magics + shadow and light clash make equinox’s effects
i wonder what other opposites could be, life and death for sure, but maybe gravity and explosion, or aether if it needs to be another lost? they are basically the two forces fighting for control in a star’s core
I think aether is included with the light one
tbh I never thought of explosion like that? why doesnt explosion give that much knockback actually
it’s explosive light though, so if you need it to be a lost since gravity is one then it’d be the only option i think
We got heat magic; now we just need cold magic.
I don’t see aether and gravity that much considering there’s also darkness magic which matches it better imo
Hey, I made a nice little thread for this interesting dialogue to move to. If you have anything else to add on to it, do it there!
true, darkness would be a better match for aether, i just wonder what could be a good match for gravity
I think mainly the issue is that there isn’t much of an opposite to gravity in this game.
If we’re going off of the actual force of gravity, then we don’t really have anything resembling the normal force or centripetal force
If we go off of gravity as a dumbed down “wind but it pushes more”, then we also don’t really have anything that acts opposite to that either.
I should have been more specific, but I don’t actually know that Equinox works like that, I just can’t see any other reason for it to explode but special.
To be honest, it’s probably not that deep as to why it explodes. Equinox is really old for a magic idea in this game and its likely that when it was made Vetex did it because “its edgy and fucking awesome” or something along those lines
