Anti-Magic Material (Magic)
« on: January 10, 2010, 09:19:57 PM »
We all know of the AM Fields and such popular with the Aralangs, but.. AM Technology is a child creation from a magical property which restricts metal. Discuss how it works here.

Wait. Since when does it restrict metal, and what do you mean by that?

Hold up.... My character was almost killed because he couldn't use magic on Nosvasia.

Your saying Hawk's shields couldn't restrict my magic?

Explain this to me.

You both seem to misunderstand.

Anti-Magic was originally a material made OF magic and applied to metals, making handcuffs that restrict magic and such. AM Fields are tech based off the magical properties of Anti-Magic. They do restrict magic, though there are Anti-Anti Magic Fields and backpacks and stuff.

AM handcuffs would be either metal emitting an AM field, or a handcuff that has hardware put into that emits an AM field. AM field generators are less likely to have metal that emits an AM field.

I'm not the one to explain AM fields, because when I joined GE AM fields are universal. If I were to try to explain how an AM field works, I would most likely get shunned for adding science to magic.

That's not quite true, you wouldn't get shunned. You could say how tech versions of it work, and it'd be perfectly fine.

To be honest, I never knew it had magical roots. I always figured it was something you came up with to even the playing field, Gaserlake.

Seeing the world through a child's eyes is truly a unique experience. It helps you to retrieve that sense of awe, magic and wonder that you lost as you lost your innocence. Tell me, when was the last time that you thought of those childhood dreams? You know, the ones that you used to spend all your time wondering and fantasizing about? Have you forgotten them so easily? Have you forgotten what it felt like to see something for the first time, to see the magic in the mundane? Everyone says you should take the time to 'Stop and smell the roses'. But you should also take the time to look for the fairies, embrace the wind and enjoy the rain. Just once today, stop for a moment and look into that little piece of nature you pass everyday. Perhaps you may see something you did not notice before.

Not sure about the AM fields and crap now. But originally it was only Anti-Magic shackles, and was in a way, a magic to supress magic.  They were inchanted to rebound magic. So if you were to try to focus magic and break them, or attack, it would keep the magic within the mage/prisoner. Because a mage needs to concentrate to cast a spell...

Uhh, how to better explain it... The anti-magic shackles would cut the magic off, the mage would still have the magic, but they couldn't do anything with it, because of the enchantment on the shackles as sort of a... concentrated force-field of magic. That's why you would have to find other ways to break them or get them off, magic wouldn't help in this case.

That was the original idea, anyways....

That is still how it works with AM fields

Yes, but the shackles are enchanted, whereas the tech isn't.
So how exactly does the tech have that effect?

That's something for Gaserlake to decide. He's really the only major tech user here.

Well, you use the tech that creates the same effect the enchantment does. It's just like an insulator of magic. Tech may not do enchantments most of the time, but tech can mimic it and the effects of said enchantments to the same level.
