The Explosive Mana - Unleashing the Power of the Arcane Blast

 

 

In the chronicles of mystical lore, whispers persist of a peculiar application of mana—a force that can transform into a small, controlled explosion akin to a miniature grenade. Although mana is predominantly known for its enchanting properties, the utilization of its explosive potential has been shrouded in secrecy.

 

Throughout the ages, tales abound of sorcerers and scholars who delved into uncharted territories, combining ancient knowledge with alchemical experimentation. It was during these endeavors that the forbidden art of explosive mana emerged, enabling the creation of enchanted devices capable of releasing concussive bursts of magical energy.

 

The process to harness explosive mana begins with the delicate interplay of elemental forces and intricate enchantments. Through careful manipulation, the essence of mana is imbued with volatile properties, granting it the potential for controlled detonation.

 

A select few possess the knowledge to create such explosive devices, which have become valuable tools on the battlefield and in arcane skirmishes. These enchanted grenades, crafted with finesse and precision, harness the raw energy of mana, resulting in a concentrated explosion capable of causing significant disruption and damage.

 

However, one must tread cautiously, for the very nature of explosive mana is precarious. Its potential for chaos lies dormant until activated. The smallest trigger—whether intentional or inadvertent—can unleash the arcane blast, engulfing the surroundings in a maelstrom of magical fury.

 

Legends warn of the unpredictable nature of explosive mana. Its stability hangs by a thread, its power poised to be either harnessed or unleashed. The very essence that allows control and manipulation becomes a double-edged sword—a testament to the fine line that separates mastery from catastrophe.

 

In contemporary times, the knowledge of explosive mana remains a closely guarded secret, passed down through clandestine circles of enchanters and renowned battle mages. The creation and utilization of such enchanted grenades are confined to the realm of seasoned practitioners, where skill and discretion are paramount.

 

Thus, the explosive potential of mana serves as a reminder—a reminder of the perils that lie within the realm of magic, the need for utmost caution when tampering with forces beyond comprehension, and the eternal quest to balance power with responsibility.

 

Crafting

Spoiler

Craft the Enchanting Bottle: Begin by fashioning a specialized glass bottle for containing the explosive mana potion. Select high-quality glass known for its resilience and clarity. Carefully shape and mold the glass, ensuring it has a secure stopper or cap to seal the potion tightly. Adorn the bottle with intricate enchantments and decorative symbols, amplifying its magical properties and hinting at the contained explosive potential.

 

1. Prepare the Enchanting workspace: Set up a dedicated enchanting workspace, ensuring it is cleansed

 

2. Elemental Invocation: Invoke the elemental energies of the enchanter. drawing them into the enchanting space. This creates a harmonious environment for the infusion process and helps shape the mana's explosive properties.

 

3. Channeling Mana: Focus your enchanting prowess, channeling raw mana essence into the glass bottle. Through precise enchantments and resonant frequencies, infuse the glass bottle with the explosive properties required. Maintain steady control over the mana's potential, preventing premature detonation.

 

4. Enchantment Stabilization: Apply intricate enchantments to stabilize the explosive mana potion, ensuring it remains contained and transportable. These enchantments prevent accidental activation and maintain the delicate balance within the glass bottle.

 

5. Sealing and Labeling: Securely seal the glass bottle with the enchanted stopper or wax cap. Clearly label the potion with warning symbols and descriptions, indicating its highly hazardous nature and the need for caution.

 

Please note that creating a glass potion of exploding mana is a complex and dangerous undertaking. It requires expert knowledge in enchanting and careful craftsmanship of the bottle. Always exercise extreme care, respect the volatile nature of mana, and adhere to strict safety measures throughout the entire process. Mishandling or misuse of this enchanted potion can result in catastrophic consequences for both the creator and those in its vicinity.

 

Mechanics:

 

Spoiler

Explosive Mana Bottle appears as a thick mist encapsulated liquid  within an airtight container, capable of spreading out with great force upon its release in a radius of three blocks. This force is concussive, like that of a non-incendiary explosion; the blast’s general strength equivalent to the heavy hit from a blunt weapon. Those within one meter of the blast would have their footing compromised, being thrown upon their back with the wind knocked out of them, likely bruised.  Those within two meters of the blast would likely be forced to stumble back depending upon the amount of protection and endurance that they held. Anything uruk-sized or larger can’t be knocked down by a single flask alone, though it could still be battered and disoriented.

 

 

 

Direct hits to an unarmored foe’s head or chest could put them in critical condition, though may not always be necessarily fatal. Glass shrapnel which explodes outwards as a result of the flask shattering will only fly to the edge of the three meter radius. 

 

 

 

Noticeably, Explosive Mana Bottles seem to be more unstable and irregular like its alchemy counterpart,  which unincorporate after priming, Explosive Mana Bottles start a positive-chain-reaction which cause it to detonate no matter what by the end of it's priming period. Meaning, if not used within one emote of the priming emote, an explosive mana bottle will explode no matter what instead of falling inert again.

 

 

 

Redlines:

 

Spoiler

There is no heat, flame, or light caused by this potion.

Explosive Mana Bottle will never be able to kill anyone outright, and at most a direct hit to the chest or head would leave grievous wounds and concussive damage.

Requires ST Signature. 2 can be made a day if enchanter is T5

Shrapnel may not be added to the Explosive Mana Bottle’s bottle itself, as it would disintegrate upon explosion.

Glass (or any other container-material type) shrapnel from the Explosive Mana  would not be lethal, and would turn into a fine dust or particulate. It may cause small cuts on its own, but would not cause any form of traumatic or puncturing wound.

Using Explosive Mana Bottles to breach doors still requires the user to carry out the proper lockpicking/breaching rules and mechanics.

Explosive Mana Bottles cannot circumvent minecraft mechanics, such as using one to blast someone over the side of a wall - save with expressed ST permission during events.

Being hit by Explosive Mana Bottles will issue the target if hit Enchantment Sickness-this will reduce the user to the strength of a voidal mage and will override all physical and magical effects

 

Purpose (OOC)

Spoiler

The purpose is to create an mage version of the blast potion and to advance magic just a little bit, as many of the other potions have a spell like counterpart, and i feel like this could add in something new to our RP settings

ctrl c and v go brrrrrrrr

(i also dont understand from an actual mechanical standpoint nor rp somebody explain to me pls)

TDLR: its an magical version of a blast potion, so its the voidal counterpart to the plant based one, based on unstable mana
