But experimentally, Vitubium type X is emitting waves of type X, so a wave of type Y hitting it will interact with not only the Vitubium, but also the type X waves. And this interaction can vary in all sorts of ways depending on the nature of waves X and Y. I think that would affect the absorption spectrum uniquely in some ways, but I need to do some research to give a more quantitative answer. It means that there would be a unique absorption spectrum for each Vitubium type X / wave type Y interaction (though I imagine for practical purposes the interactions would be somewhat predictable in most cases).
Perhaps it could be a bit like a gravitational field, but instead of communicating a force (gravitons) it communicates magic quanta and magic interactions. I think that would work nicely, and as you say result in areas of denser field lines. We'd need to call those something other than "Vitium Fields" though, otherwise it might get confusing.
Ah, you might be right on that. I feel like there is a path; if the magic quanta's concept is contained in the wave's shape, a theoretically infinite amount information can be encoded into it. Then, as the magic quanta annihilates, you could see it as the complex wave being decomposed into its base components through a Fourier Transform. Base components would be "This quanta turns into light of X energy", "This quanta turns into heat in this particle bound to the Vitubium", "This quanta turns into momentum for this particle bound to the Vitubium", and when they're all put together... Fireball? But I agree a measure of handwaving is needed here, especially as the effects get more complex.
