By slotti thaumicwonders.research.catalyzation_chamber.text.addenda.1=It turns out that the Arcane Bellows work just as well on the Catalyzation Chamber as they do the Infernal Furnace.

Vexed, even. The source of my ire is just so appallingly *there* and, despite my most fervent wishes, continues to exist. There's only one sane response to this affront.
Explosives.
Regular TNT is too good for this thorn in my side, however. I'll need to design something special. -thaumicwonders.research.hexamite.text.stage.2=This will do, indeed. I've taken the basic formula of TNT, kept a small amount of gunpowder for a primer, and packed the rest with unstable alumentum. For good measure, I've laced in some Vitium shards for shrapnel.
The resulting device should not only be 50% more powerful than TNT and incendiary, but the blast will also shred the local aura. Living beings caught in the blast, assuming they survive, will find their magical abilities hampered temporarily.
This has been an excellent, and not at all crazy, use of my time and skill. +thaumicwonders.research.hexamite.text.stage.1=Despite my best intents to work alongside other thaumaturges, some of them prefer to engage in conflict. Non-thaumaturges with mundane technology have problems with this type of situation too.
However, as the thaumonomicon itself and my own experience sees, times like this can go on forever, sufficiently advanced thaumaturges will get locked into a fight and waste time, time that should be used for studying the secrets of reality. Furthermore it leads to unfortunate losses in resources that I also need.
I have decided to correct this affront by using one of the ways that are most familiar to those who use more mundane technology.
Explosive ordinance.
Normal TNT will give no desired outcomes and using normal mundane technology is not in my style, thus this situation requires something... special... +thaumicwonders.research.hexamite.text.stage.2=This will do. I've taken the basic formula of TNT, kept a small amount of gunpowder for a primer, and packed the rest with unstable alumentum. For good measure, I've laced in some Vitium shards for shrapnel and added a tiny bit of "RDX" or hexogen.
The resulting device should not only be 50% more powerful than TNT and incendiary, but the blast will also shred and destabilize the local aura, depleting it completely. All without the use of flux that has a threat of creating rifts and spreading Taint. Living beings caught in the blast, assuming they survive, will find their magical abilities hampered temporarily.
While I am sure my collegues will find this item more useful and maybe even find more ways to utilize it, for me it is simply a double-edged sword; I will also suffer the effects of the lack of Vis, thus I must carry more conventional weapons and have means of storing Vis. It may not solve the issue for good, but it will at least grant more options in dealing with other hostile users of thaumaturgy. thaumicwonders.research.flux_capacitor.title=Flux Capacitor thaumicwonders.research.flux_capacitor.text.stage.1=I've noticed that Primordial Pearls have a curious relationship with flux.

The charm must be charged with Vis on a pedestal, and charges are used while warp is being taken. I can expect it to take a bit of time for the charm to do its work.
The charm only works on normal, "sticky" warp. Temporary warp vanishes more quickly than the charm can affect and I can just remove it just as easily with Sanity Soap, and permanent warp is beyond even its power to help me. +thaumicwonders.research.cleansing_charm.text.stage.2=Relief, at last.
