>>31567093>So we are really getting into optics nowsigh, lets do this.
I dont think the shape alone would be enough for that, he outer edges of the chuubanite cone would have to be coated with a material with a high VRI, or the chamber in the cannon where the charge is stored in would have to made of a high VRI material or coated in it. You seem to have used lead for this, which would probably work well.
However your particular design is probably not the most efficient one, but it is a good one as one of the early designs. I'd imagine later designs (when vitubia has achieved a tech level similar to our own) would probably include one-way reflective surfaces and very precise shapes inside the charge in order to allow the VFE excitation wave to bounce around the charge a bit before being focused in its entirety on the round to be fired. Would allow you to get a bigger bang from smaller charges, but it would probably consume them in their entirety in far fewer shots.
Anyways, i like the magic cannons, and I like your proposed terms.
Although the magic susceptibility leaves us with a little plot hole. If the Magical Susceptibility is dependent on higher Vitubium density, wouldnt noble gasses and elements that vitubium cannot bond with have a very low Magical Susceptibility and thus by extension, a very low VRI? Meaning that noble gasses and heavy metals are exceptionally bad at blocking magical radiation, which is the opposite of what it was supposed to be?
this would also mean that the highest VRI materials are chuubanite and vitubium themselves, unless ive somehow misunderstood.
>>31567276>GlyphsAny and all glyphs. Any use of magic causes disturbances in the vitium field. Chuubanite decay is counted as magic use for this purpose.
>soulsYeah, you are right there, if souls exist they should be explainable by the existing system, and you are also right that it would mean that they would have to be thought of as the concept of a person.
You probably wouldnt be able to isolate and associate the person-concept to a single glyph easily, unless they were a catalognaut, in which case it would be a lot easier I think, simply due to them having far more "presence" in the conceptual realm.
What would you suggest be the way to identify the target for the contract? The person-concept or a linking glyph (linking physical object to a vitium structure) are the best ideas for that that I can come up with. The latter could work with some new particle that can interact with both the physical realm and the vitium field. Which is why i proposed the tattoo idea, since vitubium itself is such a particle, so i thought a targetting glyph could work. Perhaps instead of a single targeting glyph, a series of glyphs are needed to mark the perimeters of the person in the vitium field. Glyphs, being made of vitubium should be readable from both sides.
>standing on shouldersParagraphs, you are the face of chuubanite autism by now (which i mean as a compliment). You wont be forgotten as you are probably the person who has had the single most influence on the system. Im probably a close second. Besides, most of the quantum interpretation is just my attempt to try to make your sometimes difficult to understand explanations into something a bit more tangible. Its a translation of your work, not a replacement of it, even though it has unintentionally opened up a lot of new areas for the magic system, it is still fundamentally founded on your work.
or thats how I feel about it. I guess its nearing a point where it could stand on its own, but even then in its core the quantum interpretation is just a way to conceptualize the concepts in a little bit different way.
Im posting from a train and I cant really think at full force due to people around me being a distraction. My post is very much a flow-of-thought post and it took me in its entirety about 1.5h to write.
My connection is shite and im running out of battery so I probably wont be able to respond in a bit.
