What do you think the handcuffs/manacles are made of?

In a lot of magic fantasy works there always seems to be something which is able to suppress magic. And apparently, that applies to WoM as well.

Which is kinda weird. The handcuffs you get when you’re arrested seem to stop you from doing magic and things, however they prove to be completely destructible by other people.

Discuss. I’m really confused.

magic metal that suppresses magic

it’s totally something like compressed arcanium

handcuffs are made of parental control that controls the children so they won’t ever be able to escape

sea prism stone

its probably some opposite version of arcanium:
rather than letting magic energy flow through it, it blocks it,
leaving the wearer incapable of magic

its made out of obamium

The manacles are probably just normal metal manacles.

Instead there’s probably a spell cast on those manacles that interferes with the wearers minds, preventing them from enabling the use of magic.

If they were special manacles then they’d probably get stolen and sold on the black market that probably exists in Magius.

No no no, it’s actually

REVERSE ARCANIUM

Why can they be broken by other people then, if it diffuses magic?

A direct hit is strong enough to overcharge them probably, and melee attacks simply break them.

It probably doesn’t diffuse magic, it only absorbs it and then converts it into chaos radiation at an equal rate, a sudden surge of magic energy overcharges the cuffs and breaks them.

obviously its not perfect, otherwise MC soldiers would probably wear armor made of it
it likely disrupts the flow of magic, therefore stopping someone using magic with it on,
but it isn’t capable of just instantly absorbing big magic attacks

more like it’s really costly to make lol

Hm, true.

This would make for an interesting read if this were added as official WoM lore.

Or imagine if they made the handcuffs buyable so that you could use them on other people.

wait what. that doesnt make sense. like at all. they wouldn’t be able to use magic if they wore armor made of a metal that restricts it

i don’t think people in AA were handcuffed and they couldn’t use magic in jail

Maybe an Arcanium Magic diffusing field was a thing back then

Still at the very least I think those manacles work by disrupting their bearer’s minds, would explain how they take magic damage and disable magic.

Vetex should add a camera effect which will occasionally distort your vision when you’re arrested.

Would make sense, lore-wise.

after thinking about it, i think that handcuffs are just made of iron with insame strong enchant which is “Drawback”

user can’t use magic because of drawback enchantment and the fear that you wear those but others can destroy it easly so it make sense to me
