The formal elucidation by the grand wizards took about four hours, and the symposium continued from dusk well into the night.
After a week of collective effort by hundreds of wizards, the fundamental data regarding the forty-nine elements—such as their mass, density, and molecr weight—had been thoroughly researched. The discussion about the criteria for the elemental ranking was a hotly debated topic.
Several hours of intense debate didn''t tire the assembly, for they understood that the true discourse had justmenced.
Among the grand wizards, Raphael confidently rose, stepping forward to address the assembly.
"I''ll speak on the unique characteristics of the new element, Radium. Please permit me to momentarily extinguish the magicmps..."
Harof nodded, snapped his fingers to interrupt the power supply, and the electricmps mounted on the meeting room''s ceiling flickered a few times before plunging the surroundings into pitch darkness.
Except for one spot in the entire chamber—Raphael''s attire, emitting a dazzling yellow-green fluorescence.
"No magical fluctuations?" Harof expressed surprise. He could sense that this peculiar glow wasn''t magical in nature.
"Exactly, this is the power of Radium!" Raphael proudly announced. "In my research, I found that this new element, when mixed with certain substances, emits a gentle glow on its own. I left it undisturbed for two whole nights, and the light showed no sign of diminishing...""Based on my estimation, this light may continue to emit for several years, even a dozen or more!" Raphael confidently asserted.
"Where does this emitting powere from?" Victorio pondered aloud.
The fact that it emitted light without magical input surprised all the wizards present.
The wizards adept in alchemy and herbalism thought of a magical substance, the Radiant Mushroom! These mushrooms, growing in dark underground areas, also had the ability to emit light spontaneously but required magical supply. Once detached from magic, they withered rapidly.
"I presume this might be a reaction between Radium and certain substances, akin to howbustion produces light and heat. However, this reaction urs at an incredibly slow pace, resulting in a softer light that might gradually deplete its energy over a long period..." Raphael spected.
Due to the limited three-day timeframe, he hadn''t conducted further experiments, relying solely on magical theories in his mind.
Though his understanding of Radium wasn''t profound, the single attribute of self-illumination was enough to underscore the significance of this new element.
This substance could allow them to see in the dark without any energy consumption. It could prove useful in nocturnal battles.
Raphael even contemted coating the walls of the capital with this mixture; solving the illumination issue at night without requiring any electrical power.
Raphael borated on the applications of Radium, while Lynn, seated below, looked oddly concerned, but it wasn''t his turn to speak yet.
Finally, Raphael disyed a ss made with fluorescent paint before the assembly.
The transparent ss emitted an enchanting fluorescence, captivating every wizard present. The female witches in the audience eximed their admiration.
"So beautiful... What a brilliant radiance!"
Seeing his research acknowledged by the assembly, Raphael couldn''t help but smile. His decision to focus on Radium, with less content from the demonic stonespared to Uranium''s significant hazards and uncertainties, seemed exceedingly correct!
Driven by this notion, Raphael mimicked Lynn''s electromaic separation method to extract Radium from small pieces of demonic stones.
Initially intended for testing various properties of Radium, the experiment unexpectedly unveiled the substance''s continuous luminescence whenbined with certain materials. The resulting paint could practically be used on anything, giving them a yellow-green glow at night, as if enchanted.
This was undoubtedly a lucrative opportunity, and Raphael knew this novelty would create a stir among the wizards...
The research on Radium''s self-illumination earned high praise from the assembly, and Raphael gifted some ssware coated with fluorescent paint to several councilors and grand wizards before contentedly returning to his seat.
Soon after, Anthony stood up, beginning his discourse on the atomic structure of purple fruits.
It was undeniable that elements internally carried charges. The electromaic separation experiment led by Lynn days ago, transforming two new elements from a gaseous state into a special sma, stood as crucial evidence!
So, as soon as this news was published in the Magic Daily, all the motors produced by the Alchemy Research Institute were sold out instantly!
It was an era where everyone aspired to be a Lightning Mage. After all, if Anthony''s theory was correct, thunder was the foundation of all magic. Any wizard striving for truth would inevitably seek mastery over it!
After more than ten grand wizards presented their research, it was finally Lynn''s turn, cedst in the order.
This wasn''t a slight; rather, it was a sign of significance!
However, Harof, who arranged this sequence, cast a slightly apologetic nce at Lynn because it seemed like the other grand wizards had covered everything that could be spoken about!
Fortunately, the anticipated awkwardness didn''t ur. Lynn calmly stood amidst everyone''s gaze and began to speak.
"Through my research and experiments, Uranium and Radium, these two new elements, are unlike any elements we''ve encountered before. They share amon trait and should be ssified into a category distinct from metallic and non-metallic elements."
"I refer to them as radioactive elements!"
Lynn''s opening words were groundbreaking, awakening the slightly drowsy assembly of wizards.
"Radioactive elements?" Victorio furrowed his brow, carefully pondering this term, acknowledging the gravity of Lynn''s research.
Because this might hold the key to why they couldn''t manipte or decipher these two unique new elements, a conundrum that had gued every wizard since the acquisition of the demonic stones.>
