spectre’s trello and webcomic, which while the story is not entirely canon, trollus said she discussed the magics and mutations with vetex and tech when she was making the mutation chart, so i expect those at least would be accurate

also atomic doesn’t mean explosive or radioactive, just atoms
and why would atomic magic be explosions if there’s literally explosion magic in the same mutation tree
No normal person actually uses it like that though.
anyone who knows the word atomic for anything other than just the atom bomb can, atomic is used to describe plenty of things that are not explosive
besides, the atomic bomb isn’t called atomic because of the radiation and explosiveness, it’s called atomic because it splits an atom, so even then the word is just being used in the sense of relating to atoms
tbf metal and crystal are both in the same tree and they both fulfill a niche of being slow heavy hitting magics
metals and crystals are two different materials that both appeal to different people and aesthetics, having explosion and then explosion again are the same thing
what’s happening
Probably wind tbh
probably both
Fair
i feel like wind and glass and other bleed-causing magics
metal probably because that’s the main source of most slashes (swords and the like)
Aw fiddlesticks.
in defense of this: vetex was a teenager when he wrote that so he likely meant explosive stuff
A lot of magics are already slinging atoms anyway
Yeah he’d remember curses, but a specific one like the speed curse which gets like no use isn’t gonna be all that memorable
atomic magic is specifically about controlling atoms though, it was about deconstructing and reconstructing the opponent’s attacks to use for your own
wait if it’s about deconstructing and reconstructing my opponent’s attacks why not just. deconstruct my opponent
probably same reason plasma or magma doesn’t just instantly melt all their skin off, you could deconstruct people considerably weaker than you but not those equal in strength
vetex shouldve just stuck with the classic 7 magics and had these “hecate shards” at the start for the new 20+ magics we already have
I like gambling and it brings me joy whenever I find rare things in chests
careful now if the wrong person sees this your house will probably get bombed
