I go to the latest post, see this and think 'What? Why'd it die that quickly?'I have a question about Cores. Do they obey the Conservation of Matter? For instance, does a water core manipulate pre-existing water, create water out of nothing, or convert other matter (like air) into water?
Haha what Kyle said is right. Magic.
Nah, but for real, they do obey the conservation of matter. Think of using a water core as generating an celestial (tier 2) element inside the core that rapidly causes hydrogen and oxygen molecules to be drawn to it. Thus, they are forced to bond due to the disruptive energy and bam water.
I don't know if I told you guys this yet but this is a generally accepted thing for all powers, straight from superpower wiki:
tier 1 elements: Water, Earth, Fire, Lightning, metal, plants, etc. Physical (or maybe not physical) elements we can see.
tier 2 elements: Celestial Elements that are (mostly) unable to be perceived by the human sense but can affect them. This is stuff like dark energy (its actually real) and anti matter and other things we don't know about because most of them don't occur on earth, but do occur in our observable universe (don't get confused, "observable universe" = the entire universe)
tier 3 elements: Spiritual or trans-dimensional elements. These are things that cannot be observed in our observable universe. Think of all existing verses as a stack of papers. Our entire universe is ONE sheet of paper. We can call it a dimension, a plane, "one of the many reaities", etc, whatever. Our sheet of paper holds all tier 1 and tier 2 elements. Tier 3 elements exist on the entire stack of papers as a whole or on a different sheet, but through the use of tier 2 elements, they can be brought to our sheet, and through the use of tier 1 elements, we can perceive (see, hear, feel, touch, taste) them. So basically, we have "souls" which are just reserves of tier 3 energies that exist within lifeforms, but can't be understood since they are tier 3.
The VOID, imagine that as another sheet of paper. So now, the Void Gate opens and these kages are flooding in bringing in all these tier 3 elements and shit.
Cores have tier 2 elements inside them, but properties of these elements cause them to take form in tier 1 shapes (like water and fire). SO maybe a water core is really just a specific tier 2 element that attracts certain atoms, two of which include hydrogen and oxygen, and as a result, due to the abundance of those two atoms in our atmosphere, water is created when it is activated.
It's confusing I know, but once I hit one of my main plot twists everything will make sense.
EDIT: Law of conservation of matter/mass/energy voided by tier 3 elements, btw. All physics is, basically.
