That means a charged particle weapon would be able to punch right through an anti-magic field.
In fact a charged particle weapon would also do a huge amount of damage to lead shielded (and thus protected against magic) targets by bremsstrahlung radiation. Imagine the baddies hiding under a lead bunker thinking their safe from magic, and then you laugh maniacally as you switch on your death ray and see shadows of their skeleton writhing in agony.
>you cannot catch radiation sickness from victims
Sure you can.
That Russian traitor that Putin killed with Polonium a few years ago was so radioactive that he irradiated every place he went before getting taken to the hospital and dying. They literally had to decontaminate several public restrooms because of his radioactive piss.
>that Putin killed
Now now, that's not proven.
Are you reading my campaign notes? Because I've been working on a post-apocalyptic fantasy campaign where radiation breaks down the fabric of reality, allowing for magic.
fuck off putin
Stay away from my Tibetan dog grooming bulletin board
The fun part is that, of all the political leaders in the actual world, Putin is the only one I'd believe would do his assasinations himself.
>That means a charged particle weapon would be able to punch right through an anti-magic field.
Sure, and bullets and swords can do it too. The important discovery is that an antimagic field would block high energy radiation. Pull an antimagic field to touch radiactive stuff without worry, walk into irradiated areas, etc.
For the physicists in the thread, what other things would be stopped by an antimagic field? Lasers? Microwave guns?
No lasers or microwave guns will not be stopped by anti-magic field because you can see into the anti-magic field and people inside the field can see out, so presumably low energy EM radiation can travel both ways.
if AMF blocked all EM radiation then when you're inside the field and look up you will see the blackest black. And conversely on the other side an AMF that blocks all EM radiation will look like a black sphere, or perfectly reflective sphere if it reflects instead of block.
Although that is assuming by laser you're talking about your average visible light wavelength laser. If you're actually talking about Project Excalibur style bomb pumped gamma ray laser of death then yes, AMF would block it.
Magic is inherently bullshit, so it is best explained with bullshittery. Pre-Enlightement natural science was full of ad hoc explanations, so the situation is entirely analogous to that - you simply cannot argue why those ideas are retarded.
depends how it works. If it blocks radiation, it wouldn't effect lasers or microwaves. If it blocks EM radiation, it would stop them, as well as light and heat
