The Mana Periodic Table

It is possible for “Active” or Magically-enabled particles to form elements, and hence a periodic table. However, in these elements, it is the Neutron-Count that defines the characteristics of the material, and some elements can take on very different forms than their normal counterparts. For example, Magical Hydrogen is a Liquid at standard State. However, unstable elements are impossible to form altogether. An additional note, is that rarity and value scales with mass, so, for example, Mercury is more valuable than Gold.

As the largest existing stable element is Lead-208, which has 82 Protons and 126 Neutrons, The largest Mana-Element that is physically possible in the periodic Table is Ubh(LXXXII)

Impure Elements

Mana Elements can exist combined with normal Protons and Neutrons. When doing so, should the element be impure, any normal particle is written in isotope brackets, but is ignored in the element naming and potency. For example:

H 5/1 (V)

Represents an element with one Magi-Neutron, Five Magi-Protons, Five normal Neutrons, and one normal Proton. The characteristics of impure Elements are as follows:

⦁ Normal Neutrons have no effect on the properties of the element— magical, or otherwise

⦁ This also means that extremely small elements can have a large amount of Protons: A Magi-Hydrogen could potentially have 125 Normal Neutrons and 82 Magi Protons and still have the properties of Hydrogen. However, due to the absence of Magi-Neutrons to control the power, it would be extremely hard to control.

⦁ Normal Protons however, cause the element’s characteristics to become more like the normal element it has the proton count for, Including Magi-Protons.

⦁ In our example, the element is analogous to normal Carbon-12, which has six protons and six neutrons. As it has one proton, and Carbon has six, that means it has properties equal to one-sixth that of carbon. To put things in simple terms, it’s Hydrogen that acts a little like Carbon.

Unstable Elements

Although being derived from all the stable elements on the periodic table would imply that the entire Mana Periodic table is stable, this is not true:

19, 21,39,45,61,71,84,87,89,109,115,123

F, Sc, Y, Rh, Pm, Lu, Po, Fr, Ac, Mt, Uup, Ubt

These are the all numbers of Neutrons that do not exist in stable nuclides, as well as the Elements they correspond to. However, due to the impurity rule, all of these can exist as long as they are impure with at least one neutron to make them stable. So, Ubt (LXXXII) is impossible, butt Ubt 1/0 (LXXXII) is. It just means they cannot exist in a magically pure form.
