Enthalpy is the energy contained in a substance. It is essentially chemical potential energy. When something loses enthalpy, it releases it as heat, in an exothermic reaction. When something gains enthalpy, it takes in heat, in an endothermic reaction.Something like burning is exothermic, and I can't think of an endo ones right now.When you make a chemical bond, that releases energy (I know, weird), so it's at a lower enthalpy state. When you destroy a chemical bond, that takes in energy, so it's at a higher enthalpy state.I believe that the way Nimda refers to enthalpy is done with some heavy artistic license, because if it was literal, it would mean increasing enthalpy just makes something more likely to react (kinda) and decreasing slows a reaction (kinda).Perhaps an explanation from Nimda is in order?

This is like what I was thinking: Accelerator is increasing the heat in order to allow the bonds to happen; as far as I know that's part of the requirement for bonding. If enthalpy is chemical potential energy like chemical bonds, then all that together means that Accelerator changing the enthalpy levels doesn't seem like it would have anything to do with Ma'at changing the heat levels so she can make the bonds herself.

Etcetera said
Ma'at cannot change heat to any degree. She can alter temperature.

*They stop within an inch of me and a bone in your arm cracks*I highly recommend that you stop prolonging this.

The_J said
Temperature is simply a measurement of heat in a given point, so technically she can.

Balance said
That's what I meant. Heat is a change in thermal energy. I was being inaccurate D:

The_J said
So what other powers does this guy have?

Nimda said
Actually, temperature and heat are entirely different. C'mon m8. Enthalpy, but if you're creative, you can figure out all it can be used for.

The_J said
How the hell does enthalpy changing let him use pseudo-telekinesis?

Nimda said
He increased the pressure in her bone by applying energy, causing it to expand and crack.

The_J said
I mean the part where he stops the shard.

Nimda said
He absorbs all kinetic energy of the shards.

The_J said
I thought you said enthalpy?

Nimda said
Enthalpy is basically energy, and he can control energy in things. Kinetic, potential, electric, etc. I'm minoring in chemistry, so I have to know a lot on the subject, and thermodynamics.

The_J said
Ah, I see, so his powers are not limited to enthalpy then.

Sorry guys, me pa's being stupid strict about me being on electronics again. Quick question though, how do I know what power supply to use for the pc I'm building?
