Radiation in urealms
So strangly I haven’t seen anyone say anything about this revelation, at the end of the last beenu when Maelstrom ascended and started breathing green fire people in chat started speculating that Maelstrom had become at aspect for a new element of magic but nothing more came of it. In the season 3 finale after Mrs Willakers ascended and started breathing out green fire Rob specified it as pure radiation, there are no spells in Urealms that have the word radiation in them and radiation doesn’t seem to fit into any of the preexisting elements we have and we have seen no other characters eminate or use radiation except for newly ascended Divines. This leaves a lot of questions open. Are there radioactive substances in Urealms? Is radiationmagic in Urealms, or something else? Do only newly born Divines have the ability to release radiation? Does any of this even matter in the future?

oh I didn’t see that one. Yeah that would be cool
i’d assume that’s creation magic since it can do litterally anything.
prehaps. But probably not since Virgo, Gwenyth and Galen were around when Mrs Willakers ascended and we’ve seen no visible effects of cancer on any of them.
yeah. I assume you mean Maelstrom not Phanto but in practice all radiation has the same effect since the sun is just a ball of high energy plasma undergoing constant neuclear reactions and shooting off radiation in all directions
And what you say is also true.
but you know it makes sense for a sun dragon to emit radiation cause that what the sun does, doesn’t work as well explaining why Verandra breathed radiation when she turned
Edit: Now that I think about it. It'ndt dragon gold very similar in it's effects on objects? Dragon gold destroys living beings that can't handle it's raw power. Would we not say that it radiates extreme power?
drsgon gold is creation magic, the same way gold is regular magic.
okay that makes sense, kinda hoped it’d be cooler but yeah sounds pretty obvious now I think about it
EDIT: actually now that I think about it wouldn't it be cool if in URealms, radiation magic was simply the ability to change the properties of 1 spell to another. (Ex: Changing a fireball into a blizzard etc) We can just say that its due to the radiation magic making the elements of a fireball unstable isotopes that go through their property changing reactions quickly.
You don't even need fancy science. "Light" (visible light) is just a certain intensity (that may not be the right science word) of radiation. So, any "radiation magic" would just be more energetic light magic. "Gamma Radiation" would just be the light equivalent of a Pyroblast.
Also, Triston, I think Rawb said that that was just his way of explaining how it worked in the moment, and that, in reality, something else happened (like how the Band of Thieves animatic retconned Philhipé into being mind controlled as the hug thing didn't make any sort of sense, despite the hilarity of it)
omg, this just sounds so cool, aww how epic would it be if some ageless throws a fireball at Gwenyth and she just turns it into a bright light with a snap of her fingers. Or if someone uses a mark of walling to hold Gwenyth and the Paladins back. But she just turns the wall into fire and walks right through it like a bad ass.
Now since we don't actually know what arcane and dark magic is made of, that would be up rob to decide if radiation magic could effect those magics.
But then again who knows if radiation (light) magic will even have this cool power of element shifting in the first place.
