Arcalchascience

Arcalchascience is the combined study of Arcana, Alchemy, and Science, all mixed into one overarching field. Arcalchascience was founded under the belief that, instead of being averse to the ever-growing field of Science, why not incorporate it with our own current disciplines?

The study of Arcana is an essential aspect to our understanding of the world around us, bringing us concepts like Dydman’s Theory of Pocket Dimensions, Burn Boom’s Theory of Elemental Planes, Murray Rays, and Heisshurst Walls (all theories still used today).

Alchemy is especially important, and it’s imperative that we further our discoveries in the field as this is our primary form of nosarcanic healthcare. the advancement of our alchemical processes and findings have led us to things such as Antibiotic spreads, antiviral poultices, antihistamine inhalants, and many of our disease-resistance tinctures used today.

Science is a relatively new concept in terms of official discovery and exploration. Through our study and evaluation of the world around us (in many ways, that which we’ve already been doing), we can discover uses for all sorts of manmade and naturally occurring materials. Science has led to the expansion of the fields of arcana and alchemy, as well as the formal introduction of engineering and refinement of Medicine as its own discipline. The creation of the discipline of Mathemagics has sparked a new following of engineers turned mages (known as Technomancers), and mathematicians turned Mathemagicians.

The Basics, Essence Arcana
Magic at its basest, rawest form is called Essence Arcana. It can be found radiating from anything, or anyone, considered even remotely magical. However, finding pure essence condensed into a single "chunk" of it is extraordinarily rare and exceedingly dangerous to be around.

Essence arcana is measured in "tantibars", a measurement named after its creator, Robert Tantibar. As previously stated, magic is radioactive, but only actually dangerous at higher dosages.

The Tantibar Scale is as follows: Non-magical people can naturally resist 249 Tantibars with no effects; anything 300t or higher may prove fatal.
 * 0-99 is barely magical
 * 100-149 is faintly magical
 * 150-199 is moderately magical
 * 200-249 is strongly magical,
 * 250-299 is overwhelmingly magical
 * 300-499 is demigod levels of magical
 * 500-799 is god levels of magical
 * and 800-1000 is primordial (always been here) levels of magical.

Spellcasters are essentially lead-lined from the inside out, as they are in frequent contact with essence arcana while weaving spells. They can inherently survive up to 300 tantibars for a period of time before it becomes fatal. Though, as they grow stronger, they can resist much higher amounts.

The highest amount of tantibars ever experienced and survived was 875t.
