auuuhghh

scenic olive
#

but we can still come up with Theories about it though

fierce pagoda
#

where is the World Dragon

#

Dragon with the Soul of the world

#

crazy

scenic olive
#

I sincerely believe the World Soul was Shattered, by uhh

#

maybe Dragons?

fierce pagoda
#

Im Certain ALL my questions are going to be answered once i get that World souls explanation

#

hmm

#

wonder when that is gonna come thoug

scenic olive
#

i think the word Shattered here is a clue for how Auric Souls came to be

gritty kraken
#

Are auric ore edible

fierce pagoda
#

probably along with the Auric subworld update if i had to guesss

scenic olive
fierce pagoda
#

Do you think if the world soul was never shattered, it could be consumed whole?

spring helm
#

Here was my thing from yesterday

What if there was another cosmic invader in the past similar to Moon Lord. As there were no auric dragons then, the World was even more defenceless than when Moon Lord invaded, and so the World Soul was severely injured.

In order for this to not happen again, the World shattered its own Soul and spread its power to thousands of individuals. In this way there would be many with the power to defend the planet should another threat arise. While the average auric dragon was "only" on the level of the Eidolon Wyrms, raw strength is not the only deciding factor in a battle. With thousands of individual minds to manage just as many abilities, the dragons would be able to handle invaders much better than a singular entity could.

Unfortunately, with such overwhelming power came stagnation. The dragons would grow complacent during the peaceful millennia and so were caught completely off guard by the arrival of Moon Lord.

#

Fuck I messed up the format

split mortar

#

Strong person + Perfect consuming the world soul+ training after you have consumed it = Strongest possible Cal being

scenic olive
#

Im gonna ask something rq

fierce pagoda
#

what would be the qualifications a planet would need to fulfill in order to have a world soul?

scenic olive
#

Did shattering the world soul affects the balance of the world

fierce pagoda
#

it made a bunch of powerful dragons appear so i would say yes

split mortar
#

Dragons were already around before the shattering

scenic olive
fierce pagoda
split mortar
#

It’s just that they did something related to the fragments that caused auric souls

solar wharf
#

beetle

scenic olive
#

Guys world soul is actually made up story by the Dragons

hoary berry
#

duckpresley

solar wharf
#

we need more beetles in calamity

cosmic zenith
#

You can already make up a complete theory on what happened solely with what's currently public

solar wharf
#

lovely person you are btw

hoary berry
fierce pagoda
#

nauurr i dont want tooooo, i dont wanna make my own story i want a story told to me

scenic olive
#

im about to(no im not)

sleek halo
#

I already have a theory

#

Similar to my elementals one

split mortar
hoary berry
sleek halo
#

basically they’re intertwined as the world soul was formed in my theory around the same time

#

as the older elementals

fierce pagoda
#

like actually

#

i suck at this

sleek halo

spring helm
#

Stip, what’s Sundering Light mean

fierce pagoda
#

shatter a soul

split mortar
primal bluff
#

world soul got really depressed and shattered

scenic olive
#

So the world shatter predates the Dragons

fierce pagoda
#

but a soul is like

#

non-corporeal

#

or something

spring helm
#

Who Sundered the Light, is this another moniker referencing how Vetrasyl got jumped by Moon Lord

scenic olive
#

the only thing that Predates the Dragons

split mortar
scenic olive
#

Is Distortion and Noxus

fierce pagoda
#

Shimmer lore when

Rainbows come after rain and occur because white light is split into separate wavelengths by a prism

The light was sundered

sleek halo

So i cant understand how we can make a complete theory based on what already in game

#

we dont know shit

scenic olive
deft vessel
fierce pagoda
#

i mean maybe you guys can

scenic olive
#

So noxus is just a very hungry gordon ramsey

fierce pagoda
#

#

Its just gonna be an ultra assumption filled theory at best

#

but i dont want assumptions

#

i want CONCRETE ANSWERS

scenic olive
#

Okay what do you want

fierce pagoda
#

i wanna i wann iwanna

dusk laurel
#

The world soul shattered after the Calamity mod was created

#

It's as shrimple as that

split mortar
deft vessel
#

What a calamity

fierce pagoda
#

I just want eveything to be answered... is that so much to ask for...SAD

split mortar
#

Yes

deft vessel
#

Yes

fierce pagoda
#

i mean like not right now of course

#

but in the end

split mortar
#

Leaves no room for theorising

scenic olive
#

GameTheory rise up

split mortar
#

It would possibly actively be a detriment to the story of its 100% explained

cloud ibex
#

Something something zanzibart

fierce pagoda
#

hell, maybe when the mod is finished and the entire lore is out i can make a proper assessment

#

but right nw

#

i need to look elsewhere for a completed Lore

#

but calamity is special so

#

im left with a void

scenic olive
#

your void can be filled with

fierce pagoda
#

the only solution is to wait

scenic olive
#

Copious amount of lore dumping

fierce pagoda
#

but i wait hating

#

no damn it i hate waiting

dusk laurel
scenic olive
fierce pagoda
#

wow those sounded so similar i didnt notice at all

scenic olive
#

Why

fierce pagoda
#

but it makes sense anyways lmao

#

Idk i guess im just waiting for so many thnigs at once, i just want something that i dont need to wait for, for once

#

thats why i always make sure a source of media i want to start reading, i see if its completed first

#

since i dont want ot catch up and wait

scenic olive
#

I thought the reason they were not public because they keep us wondering about the story and the explanation which is what usually keeps it alive

#

put us somewhere in a cliff hanger

fierce pagoda
#

i dont care that they keep us wondering, thats like, a smart thing to do

scenic olive
fierce pagoda
#

but like, in the end, i want answers for the biggestt mysteries at least

scenic olive
#

Imagine in the end they didnt consider it and left you hanging for the rest of your life

fierce pagoda
#

I WILL wait though, im very patient

Imagine what could you do with that

fierce pagoda
#

btw anyone know of a piece of media that has a huge mystery, which gets answered by the end of the story

scenic olive
#

Reread Stories that you has read multiple times without getting bored

fierce pagoda
#

it sounds like Popcorn1233 also has a few theories written down

#

split mortar
#

So does goose

fierce pagoda
#

I have read a few of gooses

Auric Soul Theory, Auric Rejection Theory, Souls Theory, Elemental Theory

#

Actually i think i did say something about Astral Theory

fierce pagoda
#

Goose do you have like one big document with all your theories in side of? or do you have multiple documenets holding different theories?

scenic olive
#

Strange matter stuff etc

#

Rahh i need to come up with Distortion Theory

fierce pagoda
#

If i were to guess, the distortions is never getting explained

#

that whole place thrives on the fear of the unknown i feel like

scenic olive
#

The unknown

#

hmm

hoary berry
# fierce pagoda Goose do you have like one big document with all your theories in side of? or do...

uh
i'd like to clarify that "theories" isn't necessarily an apt term
a lot of the time, i'm just throwing around ideas that i find fun or interesting, not putting forth what i think is likely to actually be canon
a great example of that is actually the biome blade line
to begin with, it's narrated by a non-canon character, and many of its ideas aren't at all hinted at in the lore that we know—i just like them

fierce pagoda
#

at best its just an alternate dimension

#

like the nether in minecraft

#

its just a dimension

hoary berry
scenic olive
#

I guess you can call it like that

deft vessel
#

Now that i think about it, the mushroom biome could be the mushroom gods version of the crimson/corruption

scenic olive
#

Ideas

fierce pagoda
scenic olive
#

Mushroom biome is quite a mystery

#

How does out of all the fungi

#

this one glowing mushroom

fierce pagoda
#

Mushroom biome to me, would just be a fungi, thats it its just a living organism no different from other thigns

scenic olive
#

can somehow relate to Mana

fierce pagoda
#

thats it from now on im just gonna assume the most basic answer for everything

#

oh somethings not revealed? its probably nothing special

primal bluff
#

picks up stray mana that may "seep" into the ground or something?

scenic olive
#

Extract them for mana potions

#

theyre blue

#

why are they blue rahhhhh

fierce pagoda
#

to look pretty

scenic olive
hoary berry
# fierce pagoda Goose do you have like one big document with all your theories in side of? or do...

the closest thing i have is this. most things in here are NOT theories but they do often play around with ideas that could be interesting and/or tied into certain theories. also, some stuff in here very blatantly disgregards certain aspects of canon because i felt like it at the time :p https://docs.google.com/document/d/1paP4P5pQj5H2SgLJfKClp9pK1yAjEM15TVxLEnXrjvo/edit?usp=sharing

scenic olive
#

Im losing my mind

fierce pagoda
hoary berry
scenic olive
#

Ideas

#

Something that would line up with canonicity

#

Very likely

fierce pagoda
#

actually they also make healing potions too

#

so maybe they just amplify what ever they are applied to

#

but the it could still be mana at work

scenic olive
#

What is the weakest magic in Calamity

fierce pagoda
#

wulfrum?

#

prosthetic

scenic olive
#

Uh im talking something like

#

Primordial Light, Brimstone Magic, Ice Magic etc

fierce pagoda
#

oh

#

maybe gem magic

#

the gems are magical

scenic olive
#

i guess you can count Astral stuff as magics too

#

Hmm i guess thats true

#

Gemstone Magic

fierce pagoda
#

this is from vanilla bestiary from the gem critters

#

"Glistening squirrels who strayed too deep become ensorcelled with residual cursed energy retained in gemstones."

#

cursed energy reside withing the gemstones,

scenic olive
#

Thats weird

fierce pagoda
#

now this IS vanilla

#

so idk

scenic olive
#

not the squirell i mean

fierce pagoda
#

but it should be fine as canon

scenic olive
#

But residual Cursed Energy

fierce pagoda
#

"These colorful rabbits made their way so deep, their reaction to magicked gems resulted in a coveted sparkling appearance."

#

this is for the bunnys

scenic olive
#

bro gonna wake up and told me that this gemstone was from the heian era

#

anyway

fierce pagoda
#

here they are jsut said to be magicked

scenic olive
#

Residual

#

That means

fierce pagoda
#

oh it was from somewhere else

scenic olive
#

theres was something that cause it to be imbued with magic

#

HMM MORE MYSTERY

fierce pagoda
#

NOOOO

#

anyways this may be why the glowing mushrooms glow

#

"While the functions of bioluminescence are not known for all animals, typically bioluminescence is used to warn or evade predators), to lure or detect prey, and for communication between members of the same species."

#

its just classic bioluminesence

scenic olive
#

Interesting

fierce pagoda
#

lure prey is the part that got me

scenic olive
#

We will never know why though

#

why is it blue

fierce pagoda
#

since we see all kinds of infected animals

scenic olive
fierce pagoda
#

okay that i may not know

#

evolution moment

#

the blue ones survived due to luck

#

and the other colors dyed off

scenic olive
#

That mean

fierce pagoda
#

or errr

scenic olive
#

We couldve had yellow glowing mushrooms

fierce pagoda
#

most bioluminscent light

scenic olive
#

Or orange

fierce pagoda
#

is blue!!!!

scenic olive
fierce pagoda
#

just look up bioluminesence

#

the animals all glow blue

scenic olive
#

But wait

fierce pagoda
#

mystery solved

scenic olive
#

Yeah i wont argue with that

fierce pagoda
#

"Bioluminescence is most commonly blue-green, probably because the short wavelengths of blue and green light travel longer distances in the sea."

#

uhm it says sea...

#

were in a cave

#

mystery back on

#

maybe not

scenic olive
#

Maybe it was flooded

fierce pagoda
#

ohh yeah good thinking

scenic olive
#

Why else would crabulon be there

fierce pagoda
#

then it evolved from there

#

and now they are all blue

primal bluff
#

spirits are blue

scenic olive
#

We are into something
We are on something

#

Anyway im tired, i need to figure out the secret of Distortion and Jungle later

This makes me think that they were a very well known dragon

#

That's about it

#

I can hide some trivia or easter eggs in the titles sometimes too

devout grotto
#

Hmmm

#

Been thinking of how mentally fucked up my (version of the) Terrarian would be by the end of their journey

untold oracle
#

What do they go through?

devout grotto
#

Hmmm

#

First thing I came up with is them dealing with the loss of the Guide since I kinda have him dying permanently after the WoF is summoned as my headcanon (although this may change when the canon lore drops)

#

Second thing I came up with is something inspired by Chromakopia, specifically Noid (albeit loosely)

#

It's when after the Terrarian defeated the Moon Lord, people pretty much flocked over to their place to the point where they just want to be left alone and felt pressured by virtually everyone in the world

deft vessel
#

They probably would be quite stressed

devout grotto
#

Thinking about this verse in particular (although again, not 1:1 but something to this effect)

devout grotto
#

Also I am kind of following SBC's lyrics for their lore too

sleek halo
#

helped with advancement of the sky civ

devout grotto
#

Oh yeah since they're helping out people, they've definitely been disturbed by some of the shit they've heard

For example, the Plague thing

#

I'm thinking that some Jungle peeps wanted one of their Queen Bees to be killed in order to prevent her from being infected

#

Evil biomes also affected them (Terrarian) to a degree

spring helm
#

Maybe I should make titles of my Terrarian too

untold oracle
deft vessel
#

Since a lot of people have their main arena close to the main base. I have tought of a funny visual.
So you are just chilling in your house and about to go to sleep. But then everything gets wonky and you look outside. There is your mayor is just fighting Cuthulu

That’s just the trade off for rent-free housing

Slight chance of eldritch horrors

And then the tax collector moves in

untold oracle
#

One of my favourite npcs

deft vessel
#

Like what are you even paying taxes for

#

The Terraria cenrtainly does not use them

#

Since my Terrarian provokes people into fighting him maybe I should title him

Mark, the Master Baiter

also he used to be part of yharim's army

Is this the skeleton guy

random mulch
#

ye

spring helm
#

Awesome

random mulch
#

one idea i do have is him not wanting to work with auric cause yharim connection

#

so after exo mechs he cobbles together a weird miracle matter-ish thing that uses cosmolite and unholy essence instead of auric and cores

untold oracle
#

Yhim #1 hater

#

What does Yhaem think about him?

random mulch
#

same as in in game

#

"maybe i could convince this guy to continue shit"

#

of course bonebag goes from still agreeing with yharim in the beginning to hating his guts after seeing everything he's done

Imagine being the most feared and powerful mortal combined with gear made out of a tandem of the most powerful metals and technology, only to be beaten up by a skeleton

didnt bother making them

I guess the same goes for life alloy

#

and the galactica singularity

random mulch
#

he just slapped random ingredient that are directly associated with strong things

random mulch
#

also, unlike miracle matter, you can make armor with corium

scenic olive

Can we substitute Slime God core with Miracle matter

devout grotto

corium equivalent of heavenly gale

I'm thinking of how I'm gonna characterize my Terrarian though

Stuff I've planned so far is that their creativity is quite up there and Just A Bit Traumatized

#

But idk the rest of their personality

calamity character try not to be traumatized for 1 second challenge impossible

pliant ruin
#

i don't think i've met a single person i have a close connection with that dosen't have some sort of past trauma and the calamity world is like even worse than ours to live on

#

so i think it sounds about right

devout grotto
#

Yep

#

There'a no way my Seisai story cast won't have some trauma either

pliant ruin
#

i think what people miss is that you can have a character with a shitty past but still not have that define their personality, writers and those who critique it alike

#

you can have a incredibly joyous and bubbly character whos still traumatized

#

having a tragic past dosen't equate to the character being gloomy (again, this goes for both writers and people who criticize these forms of writing)

devout grotto
pliant ruin
#

all of the main characters in my story have some sort of traumatic past but their personalities are wildly different with only one of them really fitting the gloomier more monotone archetype

devout grotto
#

(Probably, idk when peak activity on the Crusade was, all I know is I'm making the story take place around 50 years ago)

#

Anyway I gotta sleep now

pliant ruin
#

make being that dosent feel emotions

#

look inside

#

emotions

deft vessel
#

Trauma is an easy way to make a character likeable

#

Because you become symphatetic towards them

split mortar
pliant ruin
#

its like hollow knight if the pure vessel realized it had emotions after falling in love with a girl

#

and because of that the other pure vessel which also had the potential to feel emotions but refused to acnowledge them for the sake of its Goal killed our pure vessel because it was a liability now that it had emotions

wheat walrus
#

hollow nite

pliant ruin
#

however through magic shenanigans and due to the fact our pure vessel is a being 100% made of magic it was able to live on through it's lovers body, who sacrificed her consciousness to let the pure vessel live through her

How old is Chrysadia

#

I’ve heard the sky civilization be called ancient but what does ancient mean in Calamity

split mortar
#

Arcadia? New name for chrysadia?

dusk laurel
#

Arcadia is one of the inspirations for Chrysadia's name

split mortar
#

Ah

#

Younger then azafure

#

But probably like only a century or two younger idk

spring helm
#

Fuck I mixed up the names

#

Never happened

#

I’m trying to put a date on when Vetrasyl blessed the sea prisms with infinite electric charge

sinful adder
#

I wonder if it was a blessing like that, or more like... a natural thing created by the power being there

warm gull
#

or is this fanfic

sinful adder
#

it is known from a dev statement that the sea prism's power traces back to vertrasyl

#

it might be because of vertrasyl directly, or might be because of uh... jellyfish god

split mortar
warm gull
#

gotcha

split mortar
#

Which is why one of the titles was “the master spark”

dusk laurel
#

Vetrasyl "The Master Spark", Dragon of Storms

#

Fovos attacked the dragons source of electricity no wonder everyone left the aerie it had no ventilationPensiveCore

spare pier
#

But that means he couldn't sneak in through it smh

spring helm
#

Fovos vented????

brave dew
#

That's kinda sus ngl

spring helm
#

Anyway now I’m thinking the sea prisms generate electricity in a similar way to auric

#

Not that I have any idea on how auric builds up electric charge to reject stuff

split mortar
#

Sea prisms use exotic resonance, same as Exo prisms I’m pretty sure

spring helm
#

But considering both have their roots in the power of the dragons, I thought it would be nice if they did that

split mortar
#

Exotic resonance should be beamed to draconic resonance

spring helm
#

The line

split mortar
#

he doesn’t mention anything that would create a new lot of infinite energy making particles though

sinful adder
#

the way this is phrased in physics terms sounds like it's describing an exact frequency at which matter can vibrate to both emit waves from that vibration but not have that emission dampen the source

#

imagine if dropping a ball of wood in a pond splashed as normal, but the ball didn't stop moving, it kept bouncing while also making more waves

#

the waves should be carrying away the energy of the ball, but it doesn't

split mortar
# spring helm The line

Popcorn, draedon literally says “amplifying the intrinsic properties of the sea prisms” in that exact text you poopyhead

spring helm
#

Don’t call me that

sinful adder
#

not just an analogy, but fundamentally the same concept

split mortar
#

So does draedon just make it so the theoretical ball is bouncing with much more force when making Exo prisms?

sinful adder
#

secondary theory: All auric power is the "magic" infinite vibrational mode in a fundamental field, and this field corresponds to an auric domain.

sinful adder
#

or alternatively, fits more water surface in the same space for the ball to make waves on

split mortar
#

If that’s what he does why charge the prisms like they’re stars or whatever?

sinful adder
#

That could be involved in the process

#

of making the resonance

spring helm
# split mortar Popcorn, draedon literally says “amplifying the intrinsic properties of the sea ...

Crying aside, I interpreted that as:
The Exotic Resonance (ER) is a phenomenon that originated from the Exo Prisms (EP). While the EP do originate from the Sea Prisms (SP), I thought that they were modified in some way as to make the energy generation much more efficient.

Something like:
SP emit a permanent electric field -> SP are modified into EP to do increase power output and enable more efficient drawing of energy -> EP create the ER phenomenon -> ER significantly amplify the SP’s ability to generate electricity

sinful adder
#

I think my interperetation makes more sense

tropic oak
#

calculating ER rn?

sinful adder
#

this is how it would work in real physics

spring helm
#

I don’t see how what I said contradicts what you said though

#

My point was just that Exotic Resonance comes from Exo Prisms and is not something Sea Prisms have naturally

sinful adder
#

oh, no, I was saying that the same underlying phenomenon is in both

#

the exotic resonance comes from sea prisms

spring helm
#

But I feel like if Sea Prisms had Exotic Resonance naturally Dradon would have said

Sea Prisms emit a self-sustaining…

Instead of what he actually says

spring helm
#

Yeah I don’t get this one

sinful adder
#

Oh. I see what you mean, but I still think it makes more sense for them to both be the same

spring helm
#

I guess we’ll just have to agree to disagree in this one

split mortar
#

Could sea prisms be used as seasoning

Good luck realwegud

#

Dev statements that I remember are the sun is the source of primordial light, Chrysadia was the civilization that inhabited the sky islands and were connected to the Dragon of Storms. The first dragons ever were Life, Death and Rebirth in that order. PBG is the reason why the Plague is even an issue as it prevents some signaling Draedon does to make older and newer Plague models to fight one another, and some more that I can't be bothered to remember right now

Was draedon testing plague MK 2 on his old plague stuff

cosmic zenith

#

oh.......
okay

#

thank you for clearing that up

cosmic zenith
#

Which is why I used the specific wording "can be traced back to Vetrasyl"

#

Np!

spring helm
#

Now I'm rethinking how Yharim feels about the prisms if he found out.
On one hand, such high potential for power (as proven by Draedon) can trace its origins back to the Auric Dragons.
On the other hand, a god did it.

fierce pagoda
#

but like did otonilou bless them directly, or were the prisms just changed due to her essence spreading over the sunken sea after she was killed

the update is

@cosmic zenith is the Sulphurous Sea also getting overhauled in SSO

sinful adder
#

And it feels like just yesterday that it was overhauled before

spring helm
#

i wanna see the gamma slime repsrite in game already ngl
it's a slime with a nuclear warhead in it that's hilarious

sinful adder
#

Hell, I remember when the abyss was new and there wasn't a sulphuric sea, it was just a hole in the regular sea. I think.

#

Maybe it was sulphuric sea but with no custom terrain.

Question: what difference in nuclear physics makes it possible for nuclear bombs to exist but not have been used to destroy more than Calamitas could

spring helm

could just have the same name but different meaning

#

gods are like that

cosmic zenith
#

That's the thing though - they are too sloppy

fierce pagoda
#

maybe

sinful adder
#

I guess that's possible

cosmic zenith
#

Calamitas is a lot more precise with her destruction

wheat walrus

sinful adder

Makes sense

#

This is true

spring helm
#

that's true, i don't think Yharim wanted to turn an entire city into irradiated wasteland

sinful adder
#

I mean... He basically did, minus the irradiated part

spring helm
#

Ilmeris may or may not be an exception

sinful adder
#

Yeah

spring helm
#

but we do know from Draedon that he does lay seige, take over, and rebuild conquered cities

#

so it's not like he was just destroying everything

They’re already dead so she just sent what’s left of their corpses

spring helm
#

No worries, she'd never do something like that.
Just blow them up on accident alongside the rest of her home city

#

well that didnt work

split mortar
#

lol

spring helm
#

now that i think about it, i dont have to throw the whole Sea Prism chapter away, I could just make the Vetrasyl part a red herring

gritty kraken
split mortar
#

Yeah

#

But she can’t bring back their minds

real silo
#

I don't think she revived them in the middle of the fight

split mortar
#

So essentially corpses

real silo
#

More like she necronanced them earlier and just summoned them during the fight

spring helm
#

that would piss Yharim off so much though

T: "Check out this Sea Prism. It looks like an Auric Dragon gave it infinite electricity."

Y: "Ah... Even long dead, the Dragons still live on in their accomplishments. Of course, such potential for power could only have come from those who held absolute dominion over the planet.

...And Draedon's the one who unlocked their potential. Figures."

T: "Oh never mind, I was a little off the mark. This actually looks more like the work of a god."

#

Do we know anything about black holes in calamity lore?

spring helm
#

#

They would probably be the same as irl but no one in calamity knows about them

split mortar
#

Oh

light linden
#

Hmm

split mortar
#

Then my answer is noxus

light linden
#

Been thinking about stuff for my add-on

#

Astral infection comes from collapsed stars right?

spring helm
#

yes

#

when stars get too big they turn into astral

split mortar
#

Astral infection the moldy stars

real silo
#

Risk of rain...

split mortar
#

No

spring helm
#

now that i think about it, stars in calamity collapsing in on their own weight has some implications for magic

split mortar
#

Doesn’t mana naturally shrink ?

#

It’s not weight

spring helm
#

Since stars are basically balls of magic that are the result of mana gathering from gravity

split mortar
#

Mana has a force that causes it to shrink and condense that isn’t gravity

#

It does that while on the planet

spring helm
#

I know which dev statement you're talking about, but there's also this

split mortar
#

Then how does it shrink and condense as the astral infection biome

spring helm
#

i guess it just does both

sinful adder
#

"gravitate" could be used to describe a general attractive force rather than the same gravitational force

#

or gravity could be different

spring helm
#

If Calamitas made a gigantic spell, is it possible for that spell to collapse and turn into astral blight

sinful adder
#

I think yes

#

But only because I assume all magic does that, it's not just a specific type

split mortar
#

It would take a long time to do that I think

split mortar
spring helm
#

yeah i assumed that whatever magic stars are, is the "purest" form magic could take, since it's something that occurs spontaneously with large concentrations of mana
